Artistic Research on Walking & Listening

Abstract

I am a walker and listener.

Investigating sound and space has long been an integral part of my artistic work. I started early with comprehensive training in classical music, studying violin, viola and composition. I played in orchestras and ensembles and focused on spatial performances and new performance practices. I have always had a special relation- ship with our most natural form of locomotion – walking. Long walks and hikes with my family were a vital part of my childhood. Even all the schools I attended were in walking distance. Walking and Listening is not only my artistic approach, it is also my way of life. It is how I experience my environment and how I explore new sites. For over 15 years now I have been investigating the walkability of cities and their associated spatial perception, through my work series go your gait! This exploration results in various types and styles of artwork: performance, composition, site-specific installation and exhibition, workshop, photo collection, audio-visual composition, text and scores.
