It can inspire, delight – or even evoke fear. The bronze microphone before you is solid and timeless. This is Talent Scout, created by Trygve Luktvasslimo and Fredrik Strid in 2016. The sculpture resembles a classic stage performance – but it’s also something more: a warm tribute to freedom of expression and the power of the individual voice. The microphone is inspired by the iconic Shure Unidyne 55, a 75-year-old model known from historic speeches and legendary musical performances. It looks like a moment frozen in time – yet it is active, inviting you to come closer, to let your voice fill the space and echo into eternity. This is your invitation. The artists want the microphone to be touched – polished over time by human hands. Right now, it's just you, the microphone… and the world. Take hold of it – and imagine the whole world listening.
