With sonic landscapes Arendse has created a site-specific sound work for Struer, which focuses on the hidden systems that maintain the city and the people who live in it.
The work consists of three elements: a specially designed sewer cover, a sound work of five compositions composed of sound recordings from intestines and sewers to be heard from covers at five locations at Struer harbor, and a listening situation where participants experience sounds that make the nervous system relax triggering digestion.
The work has digestion as a consistent thematic figure, and points to the vital organic processes that often take place unnoticed. By working with the city's hidden systems; the public sewers, water drainage and wastewater treatment plants, the piece points to the idea of the city as a body and the analogy between the city’s and human being's inner digestive systems.
