HÖRSELGÅNG

Sound walk for two people.

The title Hörselgång hints at a speculative channel that allows one to listen to, and through, somebody else’s ears. In the Swedish language, gång stands for English “channel”, but also “walkway” or “path”. “Hörsel” means hearing.

In Hörselgång spoken instructions and choreographic clues combined with binaural synthesis and enhanced listening practices, interfere with the subjective situatedness of auditory perception. The walk puts different models of perception at play, allowing forms of coexistence, inviting the two participants to go not in and not outside of this world - but "between”.

Hörselgång is a collaboration with sound artist Daniele Pozzi, initiated in the simularr artistic research project in 2023, and since then the sound walk has been presented in the context of international art festivals and artistic research.
