saab sculptures
A series of works placing the iconic Saab 900 car in different contexts,
thus questioning, transforming and pimping public/private space.
Since 2018, the path of Amber Meulenijzer is intertwined with that of a white Saab 900.
She has been researching the sculptural qualities of this car in many ways,
resulting in different installations and performances. Since 2020,
a residency in Brasserie Atlas (Brussels, Belgium) permitted her to develop a sonic
chapter in this research. A mobile soundsystem carrying 12 Toa horn-speakers
was mounted on the car's roof. The sculpture travels through
different landscapes, new soundpieces are made sur mesure in every context.
Saab-sculpted voyages, resonating with the acoustics of its surroundings,
focusing on the physicality of the sound, interacting with the changing
landscape.
