During my three-week residency in September 2025 the Ulm district of Eselsberg, I worked with residents of all generations \u2013\u00a0from the very young to the very old\u00a0\u2013 to explore the soundscape of the neighborhood. Together we walked through the area, listened closely, collected noises, voices, and memories, and entered into a shared dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a mindful and respectful atmosphere, we opened a space where people of all ages could share their perceptions, discover something new, and approach sound in a playful, exploratory way. Through collective experimentation, improvisation, and listening research, we gradually developed a unique soundscape of Eselsberg \u2013 shaped by the rhythms, stories, and lived experiences of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results of our sound work were then integrated into the final exhibition\u00a0In Kontakt Kommen<\/em>, where they became live and tangible for the neighborhood. Visitors could hear and experience the sound spaces we created as an artistic trace of our shared encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For me, this intergenerational sound research was a deeply collaborative process: art as a space of encounter, sound as connection, and research as a shared experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n W\u00e4hrend meiner dreiw\u00f6chigen Residenz im September 2025 im Ulmer Stadtteil Eselsberg habe ich gemeinsam mit Bewohner:innen aller Generationen \u2013\u00a0von den ganz Kleinen bis ins hohe Alter\u00a0\u2013 den Klang des Viertels erforscht. Wir zogen durch den Kiez, h\u00f6rten genau hin, sammelten Ger\u00e4usche, Stimmen und Erinnerungen und kamen dar\u00fcber in einen offenen Austausch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In einer achtsamen, wertsch\u00e4tzenden Atmosph\u00e4re entstand ein Raum, in dem Menschen unterschiedlichsten Alters ihre Wahrnehmung teilen, Neues entdecken und sich spielerisch auf Klang einlassen konnten. Durch gemeinsames Experimentieren, Improvisieren und Forschen entwickelte sich Schritt f\u00fcr Schritt eine eigene Klangkulisse des Eselsbergs \u2013 gepr\u00e4gt von den Lebensrhythmen und Geschichten der Menschen vor Ort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die Ergebnisse unserer Klangarbeit wurden schlie\u00dflich in die Abschlussausstellung\u00a0In Kontakt Kommen<\/em>\u00a0integriert und dort f\u00fcr den Kiez live erfahrbar. Besucher:innen konnten die entstandenen Klangr\u00e4ume h\u00f6ren, sp\u00fcren und als k\u00fcnstlerische Spur unserer gemeinsamen Begegnungen erleben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n F\u00fcr mich war diese generations\u00fcbergreifende Klangforschung ein intensiver Prozess des Miteinanders: Kunst als Begegnung, Klang als Verbindung und Forschung als gemeinsames Erleben.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Intergenerational Sound Research \u2013 Dialoging Arts, Ulm (german version below) During my three-week residency in September 2025 the Ulm district of Eselsberg, I worked with residents of all generations \u2013\u00a0from the very young to the very old\u00a0\u2013 to explore the soundscape of the neighborhood.
