'I.A. Maastunnel' is a 21-minutes documentary in sound and moving image highlighting the hidden acoustic behaviours of the Maastunnel (Rotterdam, NL): a 500-meter-long tunnel under the Maas river. The location is explored through sound-walks, performative interventions, and by recording sounds using ambient microphones, homemade contact microphones, electromagnetic antennas, and a hydrophone. It is published as a handmade art object in a limited edition of 50 copies, with a design based on the maps of the Maastunnel.
