Touching and tapping can all generate sounds within a space. However, what do we hear in a state of stillness?

In the layout of a typical residential floor plan, the sounds spill in from the windows. They demonstrate the temporal relationship between the inside and the outside, while doors and windows serve as mediums, signalling arrivals and departures. This installation, as the first part of "The State of Sounds", separates the sounds into left and right channels, blending sounds from different times, environments, and weathers. What the ears can listen to might be scenes from the same time and space, or it could be thunder and pouring rain mixed with the sounds of passersby, or even a complete silence.

Through the sensory element of sound, the installation is placed on the bookshelf next to the door. It reinterprets everyday spaces and allows you to hear your own everyday life.

撫摸、觸碰、敲擊都是幫助空間發出聲音的動作，然而在靜止的狀態之中，聲音的樣貌是甚麼呢？

從窗戶流溢的聲音演示了內與外的時間關係，而空間介質—門與窗引示著歸來與離去。以定點靜止的狀態將聲音分為左右聲道，混雜著不同時間、空氣、氣候的聲音，雙耳可以凝聽的或許是同一個時空下的場景，又可能是打雷與暴雨夾雜著路人行走過的聲音，以及一片寂靜。

藉由聲音的感官元件，用日常的空間重新詮釋，並聽見屬於自身的日常。
