Listening to a Sense of Place (2019)

Sound installation exploring the intersubjectivity in the act of listening on a hybrid multi-channel / binaural setup

Both a sonic portrait of Weimar and an opportunity to listen to the act of listening, the original installation provokes an experience of dislocation by juxtaposing immersive soundscapes of Weimar with the first-person accounts of its citizens’ embodied listening at said locations, thus offering a glimpse of the complex intertwinings between space and place, collective and intimate memory.
