This series was recorded during the Prague Quadrennial (PQ2019), the biggest festival for Scenography and performance design, which is taking place in the Czech Republic. My name is Ariane Trümper, I am a scenographer, media artist, researcher, and a member of the research group Platform Scenography, who curated the Dutch Contribution at the PQ2019.

I went on a hunt for various sounds and soundscapes. I wanted to record what we here on this festival of performance and spacial design, to get an impression on what role sound might play in contemporary scenography, and in our experience of space and reality. What is special in the experience of a space through sound and can the time asking presentation of an audio recording, compete with the instantaneousness of the digital image?
