Created for the Prague Quadrennial 2023, GUT CITY PUNCH is a site-specific installation sculpted entirely from sand. The work addresses the theme of massive urbanization and the hidden layers beneath our feet, depicting a street violently torn open by a landslide.

The music, composed specifically for the installation, delves into the invisible narratives unfolding within the cavernous underworlds of our cities. Its sentimental motifs—evoking, by turns, courtly love and the cries of love gone wrong—drift in and out like specters. The piano, long a symbol of sentimental music, is joined here by inhuman voices, raw electrified textures, and muddy noises, blending Noise, Renaissance laments, and over-the-top romantic film scores.
