The Third Ear features a selection of institutional, private and toy telephones from the collection of the Wende Museum which were made and used in the former Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. Parallel to the slow tracing of the telephones by a macro lens camera, the recorded voice of Sasza Malko - a now Dutch journalist from the former Polish People's Republic - reflects on his memories and coping strategies concerning being wiretapped as a young man.
