Schwächezonen

Research Presentation / Listening Session - Weakness Zones

followed by an audience discussion

"Schwächezonen" is an experimental listening format that is located at the interface of contemporary choreography, cultural science perspectives on the climate crisis and sound art. In collaboration with the musician and sound artist Felix Claßen, Jakob invited a dancer, two theorists from the fields of dance and cultural studies and two geomorphologists to engage in artistic-scientific dialogues about the Hochvogel mountain on the German-Austrian border, which is breaking apart. Its splitting summit was equipped with rock microphones by researchers from the GFZ Potsdam, which transform the tensions and cracks inside the mountain into sounds that become the beats for a choreographic approach to the landscape and its inhabitants. The body knowledge collected on site, descriptions of movement, interviews and field recordings are combined to create a multi-perspective audio piece about artistic and sensual approaches to ecological transformation and somatic climate change knowledge.
