Errant Bodies studio
Cotheniusstrasse 6
10407 Berlin

How are you today? How was dawn? 
Has the weather affected you the same way?
When was the last time you saw a rainbow?

What has been on your mind lately?
What is a book you have tried many times to finish, but have failed?
What is your favorite recipe?
What is one discovery about yourself you made recently?
What small joy have you recently experienced? How have you shared this with others?

Are your dreams in color? Can we tell each other one - be it broken or whole?
When are you the most playful? 
Do you believe in magic?

If an artist were to visit you in your neighborhood, how would you spend time together?
What would you like to smuggle into forbidden territory?
What makes you feel safe?
What is freedom like?

Yang Yeung is a writer on art and an independent curator based in Hong Kong. She founded the non-profit soundpocket in 2008 and is currently its Artistic Director. Her recent publications include “caring is a quality: on being touched by Alecia Neo’s Care Index” (for Dance Nucleus, Singapore) and an exhibition essay on Francis Alÿs’ solo Wet feet __ dry feet: borders and games (for Taikwun Contemporary, Hong Kong). She devotes herself to following how artists think, move, make and unmake sense of the world. She continues to work towards juxtaposing contemporary art with ideas from the ancient and modern classics she teaches at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. 

Salomé Voegelin is an artist and writer who works with sound’s relational capacity to develop different and plural knowledge possibilities. She writes essays and text-scores for performance and publication. Books include Listening to Noise and Silence (2010), The Political Possibility of Sound (2018) and Sonic Possible Worlds (2014/ 2021). Her forthcoming book Uncurating Sound: Knowledge with Voice and Hands (2022) foregrounds the perfidy of norms and considers the violence of contemporary art.Voegelin’s practice works through participatory, collective and communal approaches and pursues sonic pedagogies that trouble the lines of knowledge from an uncertain and plural listening. She is a Professor of Sound at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London.
