In „THE HUDDLE”, Katja Aufleger makes several pieces of construction machines – stripped of their functions and redefined – enter into an unconventional dialogue. In sports, the „Huddle”, which inspired the name of the act, refers to a meeting between the team to develop a strategy for the next game. Similarly to her installation „Applause”, in which she had an excavator clap its hands forcefully, Katja Aufleger is developing a special sound language for the machines. The familiar presence of construction machines in public spaces appears strange and inspires new associations. Does this archaically impressive society perhaps share a direct relationship with ultra modern robots? Whether we as the visitors monitor the interaction or trigger it, will be an interesting fact to determine.
