Tetterode, a former type foundry
Amsterdam
LISTEN 6:00
I worked with the acoustic conditions of a
former type foundry, where largely empty
corridors in an extracted, functionally
suspended space generate spatial and
sonic tensions.
I treated the building as an active sys-
tem, engaging its material and infrastruc-
tural elements as carriers of residual spa-
tial information and as a site of layered
temporalities and sonic hauntology.
To activate these conditions, I construct-
ed a situation in which the building
becomes an instrument: speakers were
hidden within architectural elements,
playing fragmented punctuation from
the Libra typeface, originally produced in
the building’s former type foundry before
its closure and dismantling.
