The walk-in object SprachSpielHörGang is an iconographic symbol in urban space. It transforms the everyday typology of the advertising column into an unusually large horizontal structure and advertises itself on its surface.
The object forms an interior facing the exterior. Based on four dialect poems in concrete poetry, the curved shells create an intimate, public space for playful communication and interaction of linguistic content via auditory experiences in a walkable spatial element.
Users are encouraged to actively communicate with the language, sound, and writing installation and to overlay the given texts. The notes are recorded in the acoustic installation. The final result is documented visually and acoustically and is the product of our multicultural, pluralistic society.
