Produced by Melinda Braathen and Erica Kramer.
Carlos Castro is a multidisciplinary artist from Columbia, and a current resident at the Art Omi International Artists Residency. In this interview he discusses a piece he made called Legion (2011) - a giant music box that has been strategically pierced with 69 confiscated knives that he was given by the Bogota police. When rotated or played, the knives hit the keys of a small instrument and reproduces a Roman war melody. http://www.carloscastroarias.com/legion_english.html@@
