‘Kobold Talk’ is a text and audio work created for the exhibition ‘Kobold on the Unemployment Line’ 2024. The text imagines the Kobold (a mythical goblin-type character dating back to at least the 15c. Central Europe, after whom the color and mineral ‘cobalt’ is named) coming up from the mines to find they’ve been laid off.
