During the Electromagnetic Summer, Mirjam Buergin, in collaboration with Rolf Simmen, presents an installative re-location of "Soap Radio" (Simmen 2007) with the title: "Barbarita, Brother and Dou". "Barbarita" is a Venezuelan soap, "Brother" is the name of a sewing machine and "Dou" means "yard" in the Malian language Bambara. By experimenting with sound and images from different places (Venzuela, Burkina Faso, Mali and Zurich), new narrative threads and forms of translation emerge. In this way, the two invent their own continuation and reinterpretation of the "Barbarita" series. (Tabea Lurk)
