Klangverordnung in Bern during flash! (run and relay) by PAKT (2018).

Machine noises, screaming, or alarm sounds are often perceived as disturbing. Therefore, many sounds have been forbidden at certain times and places by law during the last centuries. In many places, singing and shouting, motor noises, car hooping and even the barking of the dogs are not allowed. I bring these forbidden noises, that have been silenced by law, back in their original surroundings. I project these perishing noises through two orange loudspeaker horns. Sounds that could never be heard are brought to life. Evidently by not having been able to appear for such a long time, these sound corpses have changed over the years. Barely recognisable they find their noisy way out of the unheard.
