Empty Rooms

Sound installation

​

Bare speakers, various containers from everyday life, multichannel amplifier, audio recordings of the empty containers

​

In the installation Empty Rooms, different containers that can be found in everyday life are distributed on the floor of the room to create many small rooms inside one big room. The containers contain nothing except one small speaker that plays a recording of the emptied and silent inside of the container. The resulting sound is a mixture of the resonance of the container along with the quiet electronic self-noise from the microphone, the recording device and the noise that remains in the room itself.
