When used as a listening instrument, a glass is no longer a mere container. By amplifying sounds and voices through a surface, it becomes a conduit between two seemingly distant environments. In 'The Aquarium is a Listening Glass', nine short, non-linear stories - set amid scientific archives, underwater research stations, natural history museums, national aquaria and oceanic infrastructure - evoke the glass as a listening device to present singular relationships between humans and fish that would otherwise go unheard.
