Presented as part of “Redefining. Polish-Ghanaian Textile Narratives”, the sound installation formed an integral sonic layer within the Polish Pavilion at Malta Biennale 2026. The exhibition brought together large-scale textile works by Marta Nadolle and Eliza Proszczuk (Poland) and Ernestina Mansa Doku (Ghana), exploring cultural exchange, material memory, and collective identity.

The sound composition by Mariusz Szypura unfolded as a fluid spatial structure — subtle, textural, continuously evolving — responding to the physicality and rhythm of the fabrics. A meditative yet dynamic field rooted in the Ubuntu philosophy: “I am because we are.”

An integral part of the Osaka presentation was an accompanying concert performed by Mariusz Szypura, Sugar Yoshinaga (Buffalo Daughter), and vibraphonist Masayoshi Fujita. The concert extended the exhibition experience, blending improvisation with real-time reinterpretation of Chopin motifs.

Chopin Residue by Mariusz Szypura is a multidisciplinary exhibition that reinterprets the legacy of Fryderyk Chopin through contemporary sound and visual art. Shown at Fridman Gallery, the exhibition includes visual works paired with original music inspired by Chopin's heritage — each piece created especially for this project by different artists.

As part of the opening, selected pieces were performed live by Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), John Stanier (Helmet, Battles, Tomahawk), and Zoh Amba — a unique site-specific interpretation.

The process of cutting records — later transformed into threads and materials for the artworks — was performed live at Bunkier Sztuki in Kraków. The artist isolated themselves within the gallery space, working with a vinyl cutting machine to cut records in real time. The entire process was open to the audience and recorded on video.

The thread produced as waste from the lathe-cut vinyl process is the negative of the vinyl groove. If the record contains the sound, the thread embodies the unsound — the residual trace left behind in the act of recording.
