Under the Limfjords Bridge in Nørresundby, Denmark, a sound creature crawled up and decided to explore the environment through sound. It lets all visitors listen in on the sounds that the creature captures from surfaces around it, and it lets them hear all the sounds simultaneously. All the sounds that visitors are invited to listen to, are sounds that are normally not audible for the human ear, and therefore it is an invitation to explore an environment from a different perspective.
How does the very small parts of an environment, that we cannot normally listen to with our own ears, sound like?
What does it sound like under the water, right beneath the Limfjords Bridge? What does the Limfjords Bridge itself sound like, when the trafic drives as usual on top of it? Which sounds exist beneath the gravel we walk on and the flowers we look at?
Sound is a dynamic system which we live with and in; it exist whereever we go and takes part in shaping our relationship to our surroundings. How does it affect our relationship to our surroundings if we can hear more than we usually can?
The work consist of 8 headphones, 1 recorder, two amplifiers, 5 contact-microphones, 1 hydrophone, and organic, 100% wool yarn.
