About the speaker
Nele Möller is a Brussels-based artist working primarily in sound, performance and writing. Her research-based practice focuses on acoustic ecologies, environmental histories, and intersubjective relations with humans and more-than-humans. Currently she is working towards a PhD in the Arts at KU Leuven and LUCA Brussels. Her research project, The Forest Echoes Back, oscillates around the Thuringian Forest in Germany, which is severely impacted by monoculture plantings, climate change, and bark beetle outbreaks, exploring how to retrace and react to these ongoing changes using field recording, live audio streaming, listening, and mimicry as the central methodologies.
Her practice, which drifts between sound, performance, and writing, is less a matter of medium than of attunement: to tangled acoustic ecologies, to environmental histories, to the uneasy negotiations between humans and the more-than-human world. At the heart of her current PhD project at KU Leuven and LUCA Brussels lies the Thuringian Forest, a landscape now marked by monoculture, climate unraveling, and bark beetle outbreaks. The Forest Echoes Back is a series of attempts to retrace, to respond to, and to inhabit the shifting frequencies using field recording, live audio streaming, listening, and mimicry as the central methodologies.
