Firework

2024–2025

Audiovisual transmission
Live performance / film / album

Tbilisi, Georgia

Built from live radio broadcasts, street sound and real-time signal processing, the work unfolds as an audiovisual transmission shaped by events occurring beyond the performance itself.

Firework was recorded live during the night between December 1–2, 2024, during the closing event of the Rubezh festival in Tbilisi.

At the same time, protests and clashes were unfolding across the city. Fireworks, chants, police sirens, radio transmissions and fragments of street sound became part of the performance.

No prerecorded samples were used.

All external sounds emerged in real time through live broadcasts, radio signals, microphones and environmental audio sources, processed during the performance itself.

The work explores the boundary between documentation and transformation, where unstable reality becomes musical structure.
