Delfin Lev is a filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist from Istanbul, based in Amsterdam since 2021. In her practice, she explores fractured spaces and identities. 

Being fascinated by spatial, cultural, and object-centered habits, she draws from existing patterns to create meditations on connection, intimacy, and social hierarchies. 
She works as a creative producer at Whale Amsterdam since 2023.

COLD LINEInteractive sonic sculptureJanuary 2023

The first object of the triad “Tools of Abject Empathy”.

Cold Line invites the viewer to eavesdrop on an evolving soundscape presented in a dialless, numberless Vertushka telephone. 

Designed as an evocative object inspired by landline eavesdropping, the work explores the isolating nature of tools of intimacy. Presenting two telephones that have become autonomous, that neither ring nor can be dialled, Cold Line imagines an intimacy abstracted through a tool that has moved into this tool and now exists beyond its persons. 


A phone line that roams freely by its own will between connections and conversations, where the only seat to take is that of the intruder.
