With "I Swear I was Here", the interdisciplinary artist Echo Ho has created a poetic soundscape for the Academy's garden, in which lives resonate in different places and at different times. You will hear a composition that combines unusual instrumental sounds with polyphonic, electronically processed vocal elements and field recordings from Nepal and Japan as well as the artist's garden - from 2012 to the present. The red lace covering marks the garden as a place to dwell. You are cordially invited to take a seat in the garden of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities 2021
I Swear I Was Here
A red knitting lace, an artificial rhizome, where it arrives marks a temporary dwelling for a moment of encounter between places and things, beings from the surroundings and random visitors, here and now.
