WHISPERS THROUGH THE THRESHOLD

2024

Sound Installation

Three doors, transducers and mp3’s

Dimensions variable

​

Whispers through the threshold is a sound installation consisting of three doors, at which visitors can listen closely. What lies behind this installation—or rather behind the closed doors—remains a mystery. The focus is on attentive listening as well as the physical perception of sound.

The thematic emphasis is particularly on the diametrical nature of the door: the door as a transitional medium, a boundary crossing between the public and the private—both opening and closing, even concealing. Who is permitted to cross this boundary? Who has access to both sides?
