Project consists of four sound installations integrated into mundane objects in Skien's Brygge Park. MP3 players are discretely attached to a litter bin, a park bench, an electrical substation, or set in the middle
of a lawn. Viewers access the work by plugging their own headphones directly into these pieces of "urban furniture".
The rubbish bin inspired an ironic Euro-techno song that describes a man who can procure you a "girlfriend" - if that's what you want. At the substation one can hear a mixture of interviews with residents of Skien who offer a local perspective on the place.
The sound located in the middle of the lawn transports the listener into a subterranean world, as if the surface of the earth were an enormous membrane vibrating from the footsteps of passers-by. The sound one hears at the bench describes a rather scary incident, to which one becomes a witness. You might even want to get involved, but you can't. No one can.
