installations
My work centers on interactive sound installations and live electronics, where I play with sound and space. I create environments that respond to movement and presence, inviting interactive participation. I explore how sound changes the space through interaction.

Sonic Traces at SONIME, Fleeting Voices @Angewandte, Fokus Forschung
Sonic Traces" is an interactive sound installation by Rozina Pátkai that explores voice as both material and trace within artistic and archival practice. Visitors are invited to touch selected objects embedded in the installation, activating overlapping sound fragments sourced from audio letters and archival voice recordings. These gestures with atmospheric soundscapes, create a multi-layered sonic atmosphere where voices blend, offering a non-linear experience of memory and presence. The installation investigates how fragmented acoustic histories are shaped and reinterpreted through technology and embodied audience interaction, foregrounding the ephemeral nature of voice and the notion of the body as a living archive. "Sonic Traces" resists a singular narrative, inviting the public into overlapping, disjunctive, and transformative acts of listening where boundaries of identity and heritage remain fluid.

Fading Fauna
How do we remember and how does nature preserve loss? Using chlorophyll print, a photographic process that transfers images onto living leaves by the sun's UV light, this work reflects as a medium for holding and releasing traces of endangered animals. The project links urgent species loss to nature’s capacity. LINK
