Sound dérive

The second dérive for the project ”Imagine the city” is a collaboration with the sound artist Tillmann Richter.  It deals with the content of psycho-geography, change and disconnected experiences in the city.

An Invitation to Violence - Solarium

Camila Cañeque is turning ZK/U’s main hall into a solarium. The result is an ephemeral setting made to exercise relaxing series and sunning.

Mattias Eliasson

 

While a fragile system slowly reaches from one point in this room to another, weird things start to appear. Maybe we can try to talk about it.

Chloe Lee & Hyemi Cho

 

'In der Nacht'

when the sun goes down, shows our world from a new perspective.In his photo series titled "In the Night" explores the duo from the South Korean photographer Hyemi Cho and the artist Chloe Lee nature of the German capital in the dark and makes advantage of the fact the light of the moon. The project of the creative team began in 2014 and will soon be the natural side of other cities take a closer look.

“ A Walk " - HDvideo. 10min. color. sound. 2015

The wall of Berlin isn’t a symbol of division anymore but a traveler’s hot spot where citizens spend their leisure time and where travelers take photos.

Historical place or facts corresponding to personal experience may create new narratives.

Stine Gonsholt

 

My project examines questions related to urban and rural transformation. Changes within local communities as a consequence of increased global mobility is a main point of interest.

50% Urban Residency [ 50%URRE ]

Lia and Sze are transposing an old project site (Urban Residency) into their current studio at ZK/U as a way of enacting a former “space of action” in their current “space of research”. 50%URRE refers to the site plan of the Urban Residency courtyard scaled to 1:2 (50%), at the same time alludes to a dialogue between their past practice and their current interrogation.

Collective Cartographies in Transit: Why Divide the Lands?

Letters written, as visual elements and symbols representing ideas. These can be exchanged and translated to comprehensible or incomprehensible sounds.

Based on this idea, my project will articulate itself through drift routes in Berlin by the exchange of the sound of voices. This practice is based on an idea of sharing the hearing and not obeying the order of lexical comprehension.

I will produce a sound cartography based on 4 walking routes starting from ZK/U's building (Siemensstrasse 27) towards the different addresses Urs Müller had: Lorenzstrasse 65, Koblenzer Strasse 8, Breitenbachplatz 2 and Cosimaplatz 8. During these walkings I will record some voices reading different documents from the archive. These voices will be from people that I meet along the way.

With my project I want to explore  the sonic dimension of written letters - which can be comprehensible or not for the reader - and to reflect about the exchange of knowledge made through the sound of voices in the city. Essentially, these sounds transmit the political past by looking towards the present and generating a new perspective about revolution, exile and resistance.

3 minutes intimate conversation

“Because of my strong environmental ethos, I avoid 'making' art. Instead, I do art. Let's "do" art precisely by talking in different languages. To make this conversation successful, we will have to pay attention each other more, for instance, we may understand each other's body languages, voice and tones or eye expressions instead of the contents. You won't be able to have an intellectual and dialectic conversation here, but you will get more attention and more playful.”

As the artist will speak in Korean and understand English, any other language spoken persons are welcomed. This conversation will be filmed.
