A sound exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, with exhibition design by raumlabor berlin. I was part of the construction team: five of us built the timber-framed, sound-isolated walls that turned the building into a sequence of quiet rooms, so that each work could be heard on its own.

A long corridor lined with wood-fibre insulation boards between timber studs, a white door at the far end — A finished corridor.

A visitor in headphones reaching up to a work on a white wall, insulated walls and a copper pipe on the floor behind — A listening room, in use.

Looking down a wooden staircase into a stairwell lined with insulation boards and timber studs — The stairwell, insulated.
