«With their exhibition ‘Sounds that shouldn’t be there’ sound artist Robert Aeberhard (CH) and visual artist Pekka Niskanen (FI) address the occurrence of hidden and unwanted sounds. These hard to track sounds are experienced differently by everybody and they rarely have an immediate rational explanation. Aeberhard and Niskanen use a combination of field recordings, interviews and images to create a sound and video installation in order to approach a phenomenon that escapes human perception but – with its effect on body and sanity – should encourage a social debate.»
