Narrating the Urban Space

Narrating the Urban Space, consisting of seven listening stations, occupies a realm where visual elements and sonic layers converge. It delves into the relationship between the interior and exterior of architectural space, emphasising human interaction. The installation prompts an engagement with both external occurrences and internally projected sounds, highlighting divisions between public and private spaces by intertwining inner and outer sounds.

Traversing themes of personal narratives, memories, time, and motion, this site-specific sound installation invites participants to position themselves within the surroundings of the Creative Research Institute for Sound Art Practice, London. This work projects documented sounds from New York City's Grand Central Station, weaving personal and physical space through the area, creating an intimate experience.

Situated overlooking Elephant and Castle's Underground Station, the installation raises questions about sound ownership and belonging. As listeners engage, the outside view merges with sounds from headphones, forming a cohesive illusion. Underground sounds, traffic signals, and fragmented conversations mirror external views, creating a cinematic atmosphere, with the place becoming an extended instrument.
