As a response to the works and writings of Charlotte Posenenske, and the artist’s desire to operate at the critical ‘edge’ of things, Yeb Wiersma created the soundscape Calling from the Periphery (2019). Within this audio work, Wiersma asks—what are we saying when we speak about the ‘centre’ or the ‘periphery’? What if the centre is nowhere and its features are dispersed? Taking Posenenske’s Square Tubes, as her point of departure, Wiersma created a rhythmic soundscape exploring systems of hierarchy, the traps and beauty of Art and Modernity, and the conditions that influence our lives today.
