Who has known the ocean? […]  To sense this world of waters known to the creatures of the sea we must shed our human perceptions of length and breadth and time and place, and enter vicariously into a universe of all-pervading water.” — Rachel Carson

 

A journey into the deep sea and into our perception: In an experimental deep listening session, Felix Sattler brings together literature, science, and sound as a multisensory deep-sea excursion. Together, we descend from the surface to the ocean floor, following evocative passages of deep-sea writing. An originally composed immersive soundscape unfolds as a slow downward spiral, while meditative prompts invite audiences to deepen perception and imagination. The result is a sensory approach to more-than-human ecologies.

 

Presented in German language.
