Sound installation Trauslums (2024)

Is an interactive – multichannel sound installation.

The core idea of this sound installation is centered around the practice of conscious listening, where listening becomes synchronized with each step taken. As visitors walk across the lichen-covered surface, they are invited to sense the sounds, thereby creating a specific sound composition designed for 8 channels. Conceptually, this installation serves as a reminder of the fragility of nature and humanity, as well as our perception, subconscious, and intuition. It is an invitation to focus on sensations—through the senses of touch and hearing—slowly and mindfully.

“Walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears”
