As Nature is a multisensory mirage, consisting of tectonic ambient sonics by KMRU, a kinetic audiovisual situation by Nick Verstand, and a specifically crafted scent by Mareike Bode.  

KMRU’s field recordings blur the lines of concrete and abstract, with Nairobi-born Berlin-based sound artist masterfully incorporating field recording into the body of sound, outputting waves of drones, noise, and harmonic structures.  With releases on Editions Mego, Touch, and Subtext, his work focuses on listening practices, ecology, and sonic memory beyond conventional auditory frameworks in his work.  

Nick Verstand has worked with diverse contexts, from iconic light design of Iris van Herpen’s fashion shows to collaborations with Björk, Doja Cat, Caterina Barbieri, and Marie Davidson, among others. Here, his sculptural approach to light design is manifested through the ever-evolving relation of lights, fog, airflow, and fabrics.
