What does life beneath our feet sound like? Using soil microphones, Sounding Soil makes the hidden life audible and tangible. Springtails, mites, earthworms, beetles, and cicadas: the creatures below are the musicians here. Their sounds tell of the diversity and health of an ecosystem we barely know. At Hof Narr, the installation can be experienced at three different locations: in the orchard, the vegetable patch, and the dunghill. Every spot sounds different.
Biovision is a Swiss foundation for ecological development and sustainable food systems. With Sounding Soil, it raises awareness of soil as an indispensable and central resource.
