Tarek Atoui works with sound and performance. He has recently been working on harbour activity in Athens, Singapor, Abu Dhabi, and on the occasion of the 17th Istanbul Biennial, added Istanbul to his research fields. During their field trips to harbours with the sound recorder Eric La Casa, the duo found themselves in urban, industrial, natural and military settings. In this episode about what sound can be in our days, different ways of hearing and of creating a relationship with sound, Atoui offers fragments from sound works by his colleagues Enis Çakar and Jad Atoui, who also worked with the recordings of Eric La Casa. In artist’s own words, this compilation is an introduction to the composition to come for the biennial.
