sutaa, sutaa, sutaa, sutaa

        loudspeaker stands with silicione molds, acrylics flight case, golden streamers, aluminum spotlights with yellow filters, disco light, bedside lamp, handmade wooden cable bridges, 2025
The work becomes a backstage area without a stage. Cable bridges lead nowhere, streamers replace technical necessities and the only voice is that of repetition: of revolutions, of celebrations and of star cult. Pfeifer's works oscillate between seriousness and party hype, between spotlight and fog machine - a course through the fragile concert of our time. The lyrics of Megan Thee Stallion's Mamushi (feat. Yuki Chiba) and the French revolutionary song Ça ira revolve around parallel themes, selfcentred stardom and the urgent need for meaning. ʻSutaa, sutaa, sutaa, sutaaʼ [スター, engl. star] - Megan Thee Stallion's refrain rings through the room like a mantra. The next song: Revolution, Ça ira, 36 repetitions. An elliptical movement is created between the songs and the installation: heads on lances, silicone ears on loudspeaker stands. What begins as a star cult begins to falter - the stage remains empty, the loudspeakers whisper, a spotlight blinds a lost disco light.
