Streaming from a clear-cut site in the Thuringian Forest.
Part of the 'The Forest Echoes Back' project. The forest site was clear-cut in the previous years due to a bark beetle outbreak. We will hear wind in the spruce trees, birds, insects (beetles eating through the bark of the trees?), maybe some animals in the brushwood, some far away street sounds and of course: the inevitable sound of crossing air planes.

The microphone my ear
I record
I don't record
Waiting for attunement
My body a resonant object
Rising disconncetedness
Repetition
Translation
Silence
How to reach towards understanding?
The site is part of the ongoing research project "The Forest Echoes Back - Receiving and Transmitting Forest Conversations Through an Ecology of Listening". In the project, foresters, forestry scientists, activists, hunters, herbalists and other community members around the forest and the forest itself are active research partners and form an interrelated communication network with wide-ranging perspectives on the forest's ecology.
The research is situated at LUCA School of Arts Brussels and the University of Leuven and embedded in the research cluster Deep Histories Fragile Memories.
