Making of: Susan Philipsz

How do war-damaged instruments sound? In order to realize her exhibition The Missing String, Turner Prize-winner Susan Philipsz (* 1965) engaged in research about damaged and nearly destroyed instruments. In the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, Tobias Zillner (French horn player) and Dimitri Baltek (cellist) made the recordings for the sound installation in the K21.

Susan Philipsz was filmed by Eoghan McTigue.
