In 2024 the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam launched the IN SITU series. IN SITU offers a new generation of artists the opportunity to develop site-specific works for the mezzanine of the museum’s new wing. Visual artist Nora Turato inaugurates the series with a video and sound installation that explores how language shapes our identity and modes of communication.

By combining language and typography, she questions how much control we truly have over the way we communicate. For her site-specific work, she developed a custom made typeface and a script for a moving billboard. Through this piece, she investigates how rhythm, pronunciation, design, and typography influence the power and atmosphere of language.
