audio installation
2026
As part of my field recordings, I captured the sounds of historical, irreplaceable windows, iron architectural elements, interior doors, and the ambient noise of the building. Although it is a vast residential complex housing over thirty-five studios, its corridors remain largely empty, and encounters with other residents are rare.
I spent extended periods in the corridors, recording sounds from behind walls and doors, while working closely with the acoustics of the space and reading for the walls themselves—researching their agency, the hauntological dimensions of the building, and the layered histories of its inhabitants.
In the installation, these recordings resonate through speakers hidden inside cabinets, around which I mounted fragments of punctuation marks from the Libra typeface, designed by Sjoerd Henrik de Roos in 1938 and produced in this factory.
