What’s Left of Us? is a collaborative installation by Annabel Daou and Fritjof Mangerich, comprising two paper speakers—crafted from shredded paper and cast from real speakers—suspended in delicate paper nets made of microfiber paper. The speakers emit recordings of Daou’s voice, reading fragments of responses gathered from interviews with friends, acquaintances, and strangers in response to the question, “What’s left of us?” The entire white composition, set against a white background, becomes nearly invisible, evoking the intangible nature of sound itself. Daou and Mangerich’s work is united by a shared commitment to meticulous, labor-intensive processes. Suspended in the delicate nets, the paper speakers embody a palpable sense of fragility. This fragility reflects the impermanence of both language and memory. Through the question “What’s left of us?” the work prompts contemplation of identity, loss, and what endures over time.
