For the three days festival, Robert Lippok realized the Addis Tape Club on the site of a former race-course, in the context of a grant from Olafur Eliasson’s Class/Institut für Raumexperimente. Over a period of several weeks, Lippok carried out interviews in the Ethiopian capital, recorded everyday sounds, and collected cassettes of Ethiopian music dating from the sixties to the nineties.

Among other things, posts made of eucalyptus wood were used as building material for the structure: such posts play
an important part in scaffolding, house and furniture construction in the everyday life of West Africa. The Addis Tape Club was equipped with plastic stools and wool blankets from local production, an electric cooker, tape deck, mixing desk and loudspeakers. During the exhibition the installation functioned as a meeting place, audio archive and recording station.
