Whispers In The Market

Project details

Programme
Year 1

In the bustling heart of London's Islington area lies Chapel Market, an enchanting and vibrant space where diverse cultures, scents, and sounds intertwine. Amidst this vibrant chaos, a unique design project takes form, poised to captivate the senses and reveal the subtle whispers that drift through the air. Chapel Market, with its labyrinthine lanes and vibrant stalls, embodies a microcosm of London's pulsating energy. Within this vibrant tapestry of human connection, whispers reverberate, hushed secrets shared between strangers.

This design project aims to create a portal, a delicate bridge between sounds and worlds, offering visitors an opportunity to overhear these fleeting murmurs that permeate the market's lively ambiance. Drawing inspiration from organic forms found in nature, the sound collecting device itself takes on the shape of a cocoon, seamlessly blending into the local environment. Meticulously crafted from papier-mâché, this project encapsulates the harmony between human-made objects and their natural surroundings.
