In this piece, a specific action was added to activate the piece: "turn the dial to dial any phone number". In this work, when the spectator turns the dial and enters any phone number, a sound piece combining the environmental sounds of the city and human voices is played through headphones.

The action of remembering the phone numbers of one's parents who live away from home, or the number of one's family home that no longer exists, and then punching in the numbers one by one, contributed to evoking memories of the past. The active nature of the spectators themselves turning the dials while recalling arbitrary numbers and the memory-evoking nature of the sound created a synergistic effect, creating a place where people could more easily share their feelings and generate sustained vitality.
