permeiamo – we persist, we pervade – addressing transitions, encroachments and demarcations between private and public, in the form of an acoustic gaze on the squatter-established KuLe house (Kunst & Leben / Art & Life).

To whom belongs the KuLe? Across eight interviews KuLe founders as well as residents of the new generation were asked about their relationship to property and the difference between private and public in both personal and social contexts.
Hören - Gehören (Listening - belonging). The material of the interviews is presented as an interactive sound piece installed on the building facade that may be heard from the sidewalk. Multiple motion sensors trigger small speakers to amplify sound bites remixed with fragments of the concert "Relations in Time", which took place on the KuLe ground floor. Through five horn speakers, sounds and voices seem to leave the house to join pedestrians walking outside. Those who want to listen more closely may take up a telephone handset, accessible from the outside wall.
