This project critically examines the often-overlooked sound systems embedded in urban public spaces. Through a catalogue-style presentation, the work aims to shed light on how these systems influence public behaviour, shape urban soundscapes, and serve as subtle tools of control and regulation. By combining photography, speculative storytelling, and media analysis, Sound System of the State transforms mundane urban objects into symbols of power and ubiquity, inviting viewers to reflect on their role in shaping public space.

Sound System of the State is a provocative exploration of how sound systems, often invisible in daily life, actively shape the dynamics of urban spaces. By presenting them in the format of a commercial catalogue, the project challenges viewers to reconsider the seemingly neutral role of these systems, highlighting their potential as powerful tools of influence and control.
