The sound installation 'Doors of Listening' is a collection of a dozen doors, in the middle of the forest. Silently they stand there waiting, until you put your ear against one of them. Suddenly they come alive with the sounds that were collected and created by the residents of the refugee shelter in Pelt.
During an extensive collaboration, the families, children and residents at the shelter were inspired and motivated to express themselves through sound. The doors provide them with a literal space and voice in the environment.
With this work, sound artist and field recordist Félix Blume invites every visitor to listen and reflect. Through the recorded sounds you encounter people who may already be long gone, moved to another place. It is a way to connect on an intimate level with their personal experience.
