Before the Second World War in the 1920s, the United Kingdom established a vast network of “acoustic mirror” along its southern and eastern coasts. Comprising variously sized concrete structures, this experimental early-warning system was designed in the shape of curved mirrors capable of reflecting and focusing sound waves. Anti-aircraft forces could use these devices to listen to the sounds of approaching aircraft engines, providing advanced warning against incoming enemy planes.
The installations that once served a functional purpose have now become unused spaces in the environment.Through the interplay of light and digital sound, as well as the creative approach of architecture, structures, and monumental elements, we construct and pile up this immense and surreal tableau.
