Opening – Unfolding Traces

The speed at which sound travels suggests to the body the approach of a time that is about to happen. The space reverberates in delay to the contact of waves that unfold leaving physical and affective traces. The shape of things, temporary at different magnitudes, changes in relation to sound flashes that, through listening, structure notions of a place in the process of assimilation. Jean-Luc Nancy describes sound as an impulse that drags form, "The visual persists even in its fading, the sonorous appears and fades even in its permanence."

Unfolding Traces is a group exhibition of nine art students who experiment with sound processes and transform them into installations in the underground exhibition hall of Kunstraum Potsdamer Straße. In response to the characteristics of the location, the various works resonate in the closed space of a former multi-storey car park and reflect, from different perspectives, themes such as intimacy, memory or desire, as well as qualities that develop in the interplay between the artists* and their works and are reinforced by the scenario in which this exhibition takes shape.

Unfolding traces offers new listening experiences through the simulations and imaginings of soundscapes and visual gestures that are shaped and deformed during their temporary exhibition presence.
