For this work,
Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata has been translated into Morse code and sent to the moon via E.M.E.
Returning to earth ‘fragmented’ by the moon’s surface, it has been re-translated into a new score, the
gaps and absences becoming intervals and rests. In the exhibition space the new "moon–altered' score
plays on a Disklavier grand piano.

Regina José Galindo: "ALARMA"
17.02.2011 - 20.02.2011
Presented in: Banco de España Station, Madrid
This Site – specific video installation by Regina José Galindo, was commissioned by La Caja Blanca
gallery for the tunnels adjacent to the vaults which protect Spain’s national gold reserves. Whilst on the
streets of Madrid, the growing sense of social unease becomes palpable, a crisis is strangling the
economy, breaking down the borders that once preserved the privileged life of a carefree European city.
With breathtaking speed and the unmistakable sound of a siren, the streets of Madrid merge with those
of Guatemala City.
