Living Matters - A Soundwalk Meandering Through Refshaleøen
The peninsula of Refshaleøen is the home of very disparate terrains, cultures and living beings. Food meets waste, culture meets business, urban expansion meets ecological entanglement: In a lot of ways Refshaleøen is a microcosm of the world at large. The soundwalk Living Matters takes you through these different spheres and lets you explore different perspectives on both the island as well as on yourself and your position in the world. You get to lie down on harbour soil, lean against trees and walls, look up along tall masts and down into deep pits.
In the soundwalk, several voices guide you through the habitats, terrains and surroundings of Refshaleøen. They’ll take you through vacant plots, into sewage sludge, radio waves, water currents as well as inside trees and through history, while inviting you to inhabit the peninsula’s different dimensions through body and sense. Rather than explaining the world to you, it pleasantly complicates it with a myriad of angles and voices.
This soundwalk is in English and you do it anytime. It takes approximately 2 hours.
You will also need a pair of headphones or earbuds.
