The audio-drama installation <hier, anderswo> (2022) consists of an old wardrobe (inside: LED candles, a loudspeaker, and playback technology) and a long, white baby cloth diaper. Another five loudspeakers are distributed around the wardrobe in the exhibition space. An audio passage lasts eight minutes. The work begins with the voice of a girl (Anna Hensel) hiding imaginatively in the wardrobe; she invites the audience to discover the allegory of various scenes while listening to the story of the girl talking to herself. <hier, anderswo> conveys a dual perspective on the inner sanctuary (embrace) with darkness and warmth from a child's point of view. The accompanying 5-channel surround sound (water, wind, rustling leaves, etc.) makes it possible to associatively experience the girl's emotions, memories and existence.

Die Audio-Drama-Installation <hier, anderswo> (2022) besteht aus einem alten Kleiderschrank (darin: LED-Kerzen, ein Lautsprecher, Abspieltechnik) und einer langen, weißen Baby-Stoffwindel. Weitere 5 Lautsprecher sind im Ausstellungsraum um den Kleiderschrank herum verteilt. Ein Audio-Durchgang dauert 8 Minuten. Die Arbeit beginnt mit der Stimme eines Mädchens (Anna Hensel), das sich imaginär in dem Kleiderschrank versteckt; sie lädt das Publikum ein, die Allegorie verschiedener Szenen zu entdecken, während es der Geschichte des Mädchens lauscht, das mit sich selbst spricht. <hier, anderswo> vermittelt eine Doppelperspektive auf die innere Schutzzone (Umarmung) mit Dunkelheit und Wärme aus kindlicher Sicht. Der dazugehörige 5-Kanal-Surround-Sound (Wasser, Wind, Blätterrauschen etc.) macht Emotionen, Erinnerungen und die Existenz des Mädchens assoziativ erfahrbar.

오래된 옷장(내부: LED 양초, 스피커, 플레이어)과 길고 하얀 아기 기저귀로 구성된 오디오 드라마 설치 작품 <hier, anderswo>(KR: 여기, 다른 곳에서, 2022)는 그 주변으로 5개의 스피커가 배치되어 있다. 8분 동안 펼쳐지는 이 작품은 옷장에 숨어 있는 가상의 소녀(성우: 안나 헨젤)의 목소리로 시작된다. 관객은 혼잣말하는 소녀의 이야기를 들으며 다양한 장면의 알레고리를 발견하도록 이곳에 초대된다. 작품 <hier, anderswo>(KR: 여기, 다른 곳에서, 2022)는 아이의 시선으로 어둠과 따뜻함이 공존하는 내면의 보호 영역(포옹)에 대한 이중적인 시각을 전달한다. 설치물에 연결된 5채널 서라운드 사운드(물소리, 바람, 나뭇잎이 바스락거리는 소리 등)는 감정, 기억, 소녀의 존재에 대한 연상적 경험을 만들어낸다.

* This installation is immersive, allowing the audience to experience the work within the space accompanied by surround sound.

“Where am I?

Where am I?

You are at my side .

I am beside you.

Should I light a match?

What do you see?”
