​In Cornering, I aim to draw attention to corners, perceiving them as spaces of heavy silence. Audiences can explore three distinct corners, which serve as the main landmarks of this indoor walk. Corners—where two walls and the floor meet—are envisioned as silent zones shaped by the constraints of movement and the pathways of temporary occupants. As people approach a corner, the noises generated by their movements—footsteps, the rustle of clothing, whispers, or the sound of air displaced by their bodies—gradually diminish. In addition to walking, portable speakers are embedded beforehand in the audience's pockets. The recorded footsteps encourage them to take steps, and the sounds escort them to their destination—the corner.
