Ricarda Denzer – ganz ohr / all ears: Audio Trouble, Para-Listening, and Sounding Research

The act of hearing the sound of spoken language forms a fluid, sometimes fractured act of change in time. At the same time, orality and the human voice are situated in space and thus create new places. This publication brings to the fore the performative character of the human voice and the unifying, spatial quality of sound and presents works by the artist Ricarda Denzer from the last ten years.

The starting point of this book is the thesis that thinking has a voice and that this voice has a body. Listening as a physical, performative act is understood as a creative process of “becoming world,” of participating in the world. The book explores questions of how we think, how we remember, and how we relate to the world.
