SOMA 2 — Ludwig Berger

Sound is a powerful medium. It’s omnipresent. It has a material-affective power of socio-cultural and political significance. How do you listen? When do you really hear? 

The second episode of SOMA welcomes sound artist Ludwig Berger. In his compositions, installations and performances, the artist engages in the sonic dimension of the more-than-human world, enabling intimate and playful sonic encounters with plants, animals, buildings and geological entities. 

Nested in the BACKROOM of KRONE COURONNE, SOMA is a vibrating listening platform that will accommodate the practice and research of sound artists through 2025. Built as a result of curator Kristina Grigorjeva’s research that investigates the emancipatory and transformative potential of different listening practices, SOMA invites to listen, linger, vibrate and hear collectively in a shared, plural, response-able and care-full context.
