	~~'''~~''Sorry for the inconvenience~~'''~~'' sound-print installation addresses the housing situation in the Netherlands. Many of us who moved to the country to study or work, found it extremely hard to find a place to live. Since I moved to Rotterdam 2 years ago, I've moved 5 times. After I finally found a place with a permanent and secure rental contract, I faced another issue. Between January and May I lived in a studio that had leakage on the ceiling and the "big housing company" (as addressed in the audio pieces) did not resolve it for almost 4 months. In this installation, the maddening situation is illustrated with visual and sound - poetry made out of the support tickets and letters exchanged with the tenant care support, property manager and maintenance coordinator. Mixed and remixed with the monotonous sound of the drops.		''Sorry for the inconvenience'' sound-print installation addresses the housing situation in the Netherlands.

	_this installation felt like a prototype ~~and try-out~~ of my idea to address the housing issues in the Netherlands (and beyond) through the power dynamics between tenant and landlord. For it, i had many restrictions: i wanted to make a new work, even though the show was mainly made for existing work due to the short time to organise it. Thus, i decided to do a simple try out that is highly DIY-style. It also had to be something really simple that i can install quickly and wouldn't need to bring heavy equipment. Finally, i also got covid 3 weeks before the opening, which limited my ability to work; and since it was a long-covid, i struggled a lot with working and travelling during my recovery. I wanted to do some mix between sound and visual, in a way that you can look at something specific while listening to the audio. I also had a little time to find an mp3 player, so i ordered one with good reviews online. <br>		_this installation felt like a prototype of my idea to address the housing issues in the Netherlands (and beyond) through the power dynamics between tenant and landlord.
