Sounds of Silence is a series of installations by Petra Eichler and Susanne Kessler, between October 2005 and December 2006. The series inaugurated with Sound 1, held at Weißfrauenstraße 12 (near Willy-Brandt-Platz) in October 2005, offering "the kind of silence people only dream of".
Watch a documentary (Quicktime 5.9 MB) of the installation here.
The installation works with the silent strength of the fragile. A forest clearing exchanges its familiar materiality and exposes its fragile and poetic side. Out of layers of white paper silhouettes, a natural landscape evolves. The visitors can move through the layers, but only slowly and carefully, otherwise the paper and the situation is torn apart. A light and sound collage immerses the space in a dawn-like atmosphere. Let the images speak for themselves.

At the invitation of Droog Design, Susanne Kessler and Petra Eichler designed an additional paper forest for the Milan International Furniture Fair in April 2006. The format was five layers, each 16m x 3.26m.
