sound map

The sound-map negotiates the concept of the map. It is a relief made of clay that does not consist of a contiguous body; it has been fractured and altered. A different map legend with sound can direct us without touching the clay, but only through our movements when we are in front of it. What sound could a piece of land from a large city make? Or a massive migration from one place to another? What sound waves does each part of our body emit? A still piece of land, an immovable piece, a piece of sound that is ever changing depending on the viewer’s position, bringing to mind the annoying sound of greeting cards opened on the wrong day; the happy Christmas tune ‘We wish you a Merry Christmas’ sounding torturous in the summer.
