Hear That Space is a sound and smell installation composed of three to five glass spheres, each containing its own acoustic world. Metal counterweights allow recipients to lift the spheres to over their heads, creating an intimate act of listening. Suspended from the ceiling by steel cables, the spheres and weights form a sculptural drawing in space. The number and scale of the spheres adjust to the architecture of each exhibition site.

The work engages the embodied self: the body that perceives, yet is separated from its surroundings by the transparent membrane of glass. This material subtly distorts the recipient’s sense of space, amplifying or unsettling what is heard and seen. The installation also draws attention to the sense of smell: each sphere creates an own space, prompting an awareness to the act of breathing and inhaling air and the own body odor. The installation explores the multimodal experience of the senses.
