Sometimes, 2024
(Underwater speaker, sound recording loopedl)
Dimensions variable
In the sound installation Sometimes, an underwater loudspeaker hangs from the ceiling, transforming the exhibition visit into a waterless dive. A 1968 version of the ballad Sometimes I feel like a motherless child by the American singer Odetta can be heard. On a research trip to France, Andreoni recorded the song in a church, a place of community, togetherness, and cohesion. But what happens when there is a painful loss? According to one interpretation, the repetition of the word ‘sometimes’ offers a certain amount of hope.

Sometimes, was part of Friedrich Andreoni's solo show “Remember me when you enter your Kingdom” at Galerie Met for the Berlin Art Week, curated by Philipp Lange.
