This work was inspired by the artist’s longstanding interest in the way our perception of the world around us changes once the sounds we hear change.

In an anechoic room, an environment in which the reverberation of sound is suppressed, FUJIMOTO set up a daily life kind of space for visitors to spent time just like we normally do in real life. Making visitors realize that sounds are perceived differently than usual, or notice sounds that gradually grab their attention, the experience of this work inspires reflection on the presence and absence of sounds, including what it means to hear and not to hear things.
