Listening mirror no. 2 (doorbell), 2026

a one-by-one theatrical sound installation

Listening mirrors are works that inquire on what happens when we listen to ourselves listening. In them, I find different ways of recording the audience as they experience the piece, which is in itself the manipulation and playback of these recordings.

For "Listening mirror no. 2", a doorbell is placed at the entrance of a room. To enter the room, the visitor must ring the doorbell, after which they are presented with the routine question of a doorbell interaction: “who is it?”.

After replying, the visitor is invited into the room, where an automated light-and-soundtrack develops as they walk through a corridor of future, present and past sounds, and the visitor's own voice.

Thanks to: Susin Sengül (textile work), Deliaurora Caddedu (soldering support), Paul Clift (software development and technical wizardry), Ntando Cele (dramaturgy consultation), Samuel Gfeller (lighting and installing support).

When: Presented during À Suivre festival in Bern, Switzerland in June, 2026.
