The concept behind TALE emerged from the team’s interest in storytelling as a social process rather than a fixed narrative. Instead of presenting a single storyline, the installation questions who controls a story and how meaning shifts when multiple people experience it simultaneously. By combining sound with subtle light cues, TALE visualizes the otherwise invisible boundaries of audio, making sound something that can be navigated spatially.

Each speaker emits a focused beam of sound, creating intimate listening experiences within a shared environment. Visitors are not told where to stand or how long to stay; they discover the narrative by moving through the space, alone or together. As people enter and leave different sound zones, the story fragments recombine, overlap in memory, or disappear entirely.
