The Listener

Site-specific Expanded Cinema

“L'espace m'a toujours rendue silencieux”. (“Space has always reduced me to silence.”)
—Jules Vallès, L’Enfant

The Listener transforms architecture into an instrument of sound and light. Resonances recorded in different rooms of the building are redistributed through eight-channel audio and subwoofers, activating the site as a field of vibrations that can be heard and felt. A single projected line moves across the layered surfaces of the string structure, reconfiguring the room into a shifting environment. By bringing spatial sound and an expanded visual field together, the work invites the audience to experience architecture as something alive—something that can be heard, seen, and physically felt.
