Paper (H)ears
Paper (H)ears is a score to perform a listening walk imprinted onto the pages of the Exhibition Catalog “Feel the Sound”.
The score is meant to be an intuitive and playful device for sonic grounding. The sheet becomes an ephemeral instrument for amplification, while the format design and the text invite the reader to enact the listening prompts through the materiality and reverberance of the paper cone.
