Within a black metal construction that makes up the frame of an empty room; there hangs a single and mostly silent loudspeaker. Outside the room, a number of floodlights are placed so that the space inside the frame/construction is lit up starkly by a strong and intense light.

After a certain and pre-set score the round loudspeaker, which is hanging on a level similar to the level of the head of a standing person, bursts out with its voice; Are you there?. Linked to each other are the sound of the voice and the light, so that when a sound is heard, the lights go out completely.

By working with light and sound as described, we want to create a series of scenes/ tableaus where sound, light, silence, and darkness create a static and emotionally tense room. We want to create a static room where light, the sound of a voice, darkness, and silence together build an emotionally tense space. A tension between instinct and consciousness, between a listening body and an inner uncontrollable voice, between different layers of the "same" identity.

A room inhabited by the sense of waiting and opposition. A space inhabited by someone who is both unable and unwilling to change position.
