LISTENING IN BETWEEN

Audiowalk / 20:00 / BelleBalade forest route in Châteauvillain/FR / 2022

“The space of the In-Between is the locus for social, cultural, and natural transformations: IT IS NOT SIMPLY A CONVENIENT SPACE FOR MOVEMENTS AND REALIGNMENTS BUT IN FACT, IS THE ONLY PLACE—THE PLACE AROUND IDENTITIES, BETWEEN IDENTITIES—WHERE BECOMING, OPENNESS TO FUTURITY, OUTSTRIPS THE CONSERVATIONAL IMPETUS TO RETAIN COHESION AND UNITY.”
ELIZABETH GROSZ

Can we perceive and understand ourselves as a part of the forest ecosystem? Which senses do we need to reactivate and which paradigms do we need to (un-)learn? Might other species like in the parable of Laputa be a help or even a guide to us to a better understanding of caretaking.

Listening In Between is a participatory audio piece created for a route in the nature reserve of Châteauvillain. The audiowalk leads the walkers into the deep layers of the forest while reflecting on the dependencies and freedoms of individuals, as well as those of the collective body in it.
