political dimension_

the void contains a difficulty that it shares with silence: we only think we perceive it when the dominant stimulus, which overwhelms us, suddenly ceases. When this happens, and if it is not for a long period of time, it leads to an immediate break.

extreme sound dumping is unlikely in most neighbourhoods, but what if we drastically reduced noise pollution levels? How would it affect listening?

unexpectedly, due to the rigorous confinement motivated by the pandemic, a historic event occurred in which there was, for a long time, the largest decrease in the level of noise pollution in recorded history. An event that left me with some preliminary answers to these questions.
