I created "Stadtgeflüster" as part of
Loop Jam
Entropocity Exhibition 2023
Kuratiert von Stasia Kremer und Loop

Every day we circle round the streets of our city, carrying carousels of thoughts in our minds...
...thoughts, invisible...until we speak them. Much remains forever in a "somewhere".
If we could see these thoughts, the urban space would be a teeming picture of the unspoken.
"Stadtgeflüster" is an auditory installation that feeds into the street scenery as a quiet whisper and seeks a sensitive dialogue with the city.
Scraps of words, fragments of ideas combine to form a mishmash of quiet echoes of thoughts. Secrets are revealed here:
Questions, wishes, fears and longings for and about our city; its strengths, its worries, its curiosities, its stories.
Zurich residents / passers-by / Loop visitors are invited to whisper their fantasies and concerns into the street space.
With each visitor, the colourful smorgasbord of whispers grows.
A soundtrack of city voices emerges, which, like an echo sounder, allows us to sense Zurich's sphere of influence.
A bottom-up project, participatory, ever evolving.
The closet becomes a sound studio. Here you can reveal your secrets…what do you want to tell the city?
