With their "Punktierter Umweg" (Dotted Detour) sound installation,
Roswitha von den Driesch & Jens-Uwe Dyffort are continuing a series
of outdoor works that delves into the subject of landscapes that change
over time, in this case that of the Jutta Park in Höfgen. They work
with quiet loudspeaker-specific clicking sounds that behave like echo
sounders in the immediate surroundings. Twenty button-sized Piezo loudspeakers,
installed along the tree-lined alley, are made to click through electric
impulses. The reverberations of the clicking sounds and their horizontal,
temporal diversification amplify the perception for the surrounding space
within the landscaped architectonic configuration. It is acoustically
“traced” and reshaped and expanded through motion. While developing
the idea, Dyffort & von den Driesch had an image of a garden in mind
that starts to ramble as soon as it is no longer landscaped.
