HASENHEIDE
ATLAS OF SOUNDS / HASENHEIDE
Volkspark Hasenheide brings a variety of sounds into its audiosphere—shreds of the past, still smoldering in the vibrating air of the area. Like the sounds of the gymnastic exercises of the group led by Turnvater Jahn, or the soft singing of the rubble trapped in the Rixdorfer Höhe; the cries of the peacock coming from the depths of the park. .... All this is surrounded by a landscape that tells its own story. Let's unveil its parts and try to assemble a temporary picture from sounds, objects and images.
For one week in May and three weeks in June I conducted a small-scale research in the area of the park—both from a contemporary and historical perspective, capturing sounds and images, collecting stories. The work-in-progress show brought this archive to the public. It became a small and intimate performative piece that showed one of the possible ways to go through the found narratives.
The performance was accompanied by a geolocation work on the ECHOES.xyz app and an album on the Bandcamp platform. On the occasion of the premiere, a limited edition publication summarizing the residency, a kind of visual-textual diary, was also released.
