The Forest

The gallery space is filled with textile sheets at irregular intervals from the ceiling to the floor, but it is still possible to move between them. The sheets are made of lightweight, transparent silk felted with raw wool and dyed with plant pigments. The surfaces are lumpy and bubbly. Sometimes rough, sometimes smooth and silky. At irregular intervals, the fabric stands out from the ground, lingers there before slowly falling back towards the ground. Lifting happens quickly, suddenly, while falling is slow. It is as if the installation breathes and lives.

The binaural sound forest can be experienced by the audience with headphones and is connected to the movements of the audience. The basic materials are binaural recordings in Norwegian and Austrian forests. This special recording technique transports the listeners into a three-dimensional sound space – I am in the forest.
