Techno-primitive soft moonshine still is an alembic sculpture designed for the distillation of fermented Coca-Cola. Four black ceramic spheres are stacked vertically, like bubbles held in place. The form sits somewhere between a distillation apparatus and soft drink mythology.

Coca-Cola is made to taste the same wherever it is consumed. Its sweetness, recognisability and addictive qualities are part of a system built around the repetition of pleasure. Through fermentation, its sugar becomes alcohol. Through distillation, the alcohol is separated and concentrated into a clear spirit.

The transformation takes a familiar product out of its usual cycle of consumption. The sweetness disappears, leaving a transparent liquid with a bitter memory of the original drink.
