The soft, constant chirping of crickets becomes the acoustic backdrop for a journey through landscape, memory, and perception. It accompanies every movement, gently nestling beneath the visible without overpowering it. In the simultaneity of presence and background, cricket walk unfolds—as a reflection on attention, space, and the quiet rhythms of life.

Building upon the series "schwärmen" (swarming), which explores animal structures, collective intelligences, and architectural systems, the exhibition investigates how forms from nature can be translated into processes of perception.
The objects emerge from the tension between Brutalism and insect architecture, between rational construction and organic movement. They point to a way of thinking in structures that relies less on control than on resonance—a design process that unfolds tentatively, comparable to the sensitive antennae of an insect.
The titular "chirping" serves as both an aesthetic and conceptual metaphor. It represents a contemplative relationship to the environment, in which perception is not directed toward the spectacular, but toward the barely audible, the enduring. Like the rapture that unfolds between individual gesture and collective movement, cricket walk suggests a way of thinking in transitions—between subject and environment, between object and atmosphere, and the silence of a perceived sound.
In this ambivalence, an understanding of form unfolds that is defined not by demarcation, but by permeability. The works become resonating chambers for an expanded concept of nature, in which the non-human is not merely a motif, but a co-actor. cricket walk is thus less a stroll than a state of being: a quiet resonance with the rhythm of a world that continually responds—even when it appears silent.
