Listening–gathering. Sound materializations
(ongoing)
In this research I focus on sound as a guide to explore current and historical events. Sound is an energy that vibrates through
substances and can therefore be the driver or result of movement, action or change. How
is it used and experienced? How does it
impact the landscape, the environment and
living beings? What sounds marked a turning
point? What is the rhythm of change?
