A 2-minute intervention inside Cape Town's disused Oriental Plaza, an Apartheid-era shopping mall designed to control Cape Malay trade. On the 4th day of Ramadan, 2008, Sheikh Mogamat Moerat of District Six's Zeenatul Islam Majid mosque was invited to sing the Adhan (call to prayer) inside the empty remains of the building a few weeks prior to its demolition to make way for luxury apartments.

The artwork is exhibited as a wall-sized video projection with immersive sound.
The audio in the video was recorded in one take, and was not spatially enhanced in post-production. The reverberation you hear on the voice is the acoustic of the building, an acoustic that now no longer exists.
Webb's essay, "Activating and Amplifying," covering this work, was published in "Site of Sound: Of Architecture and the Ear Vol. 2," edited by Brandon LaBelle & Claudia Martinho, Errant Bodies press, 2011. ISBN: 978-0-9827439-0-4
