Lydpot
Sound installation Ceramics and metal, photogravure prints and sound 2026 Anton Rosen Huset, Samsø, Denmark Lydpot takes its point of departure in the architecture of Anton Rosen Huset, Samsø. The building's arches, patterns, and ornamental details have been reinterpreted as ceramic sound sculptures, exploring how architectural forms can be transformed into resonant objects. The exhibition stems from an interest in how our surroundings can be reimagined and experienced in new ways. By translating the building's architectural details into sounding objects, the exhibition asks: What does Anton Rosen House sound like? And what happens when the forms of a building become musical instruments? On the first floor, visitors encounter the installation of ceramic sound sculptures. On the ground floor, the accompanying sound work is presented alongside a series of photogravure prints that function as a graphic score. The sound composition is based on recordings of the ceramic sound sculptures played as percussion instruments. The photo gravure prints serve as a visual score for the composition, creating a dialogue bet ween form, image, and sound. The title Lydpot is a Danish play on words, combining lyd(sound) and pot (pot), while also alluding to lydpotte, the Danish term for a car exhaust silencer. Where a conventional lydpotte is designed to suppress sound , the ceramic objects in Lydpot are made to produce it. The title 's reference to "pots" also connects to architect Anton Rosen (1859 - !928) and his work with traditional black-fired Jutland earthenware pots.
