2026 / installation

Crossing the paths of the histories of sound and electricity, Highway to Hell re-enacts AC/DC’s famous riff through high-voltage arcs. The musical signal is reduced to its most primitive form: an electric discharge crackling through the air. Recalling the revolution in sound amplification techniques, the work shifts the focus from musical language to its energetic infrastructure.
