Submerged Reverie
Solo Exhibition at Kunstverein Würzburg
Arte NOAH, Germany
in Collaboration with René Schäfer
2025
Submerged Reverie is a site-specific installation that unfolds as a quiet encounter between sound, space, and memory. Conceived as an immersive environment, the work invites visitors to enter a meditative state—an interior drift shaped by sonic textures, subtle lighting, and architectural fragments.
Developed in collaboration with architect René Schäfer, the installation draws on the physicality of the Kunstverein space and its acoustic resonance to create a layered experience, one that evokes the sensation of wandering through submerged ruins or dreamlike landscapes. Sounds emerge and disappear like echoes of a forgotten world, inviting the visitor to slow down, listen closely, and inhabit the border between the visible and the concealed.
Combining field recordings, composed soundscapes, and spatial interventions, Submerged Reverie reflects on water as both material and metaphor—an element of passage, of fluid memory, of immersion and loss. The installation offers a temporary retreat, a place for reverie, vulnerability, and contemplation within a collective space.
