My Place / My Sound Dreaming with Ears

Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Broadcast

The listening performance ‘My Place / My Sound – Dreaming with Ears’ is dealing with sound memories, inner perception and the question of home. Hojo + Kraft conducted projects in Tokyo, the Swiss Alps and in the Schlossgarten Karlsruhe. They were particularly interested in hidden, faint and intimate sounds, which are often inaudible in the relationship between people and place. For example the breathing of sleeping family members echoing on the mattress. Flapping wings, when a bird sits on a branch. Someone’s voice heard far away in the darkness; these are ordinary yet special sounds. My Place / My Sound assembles three works, originally created as sound installations and audio walks. An invitation to discover unknown places, or to put it differently: Dream with your ears!
