How to Disappear

Audio Essay
by Philipp Rhensius

The sound artist Rie Nakajima creates installations with small kinetic devices and prepared everyday objects that produce sound. This audio essay is inspired by the book How To Disappear of Haytham El-Wardany and approaches one of her installations by staging oneself as an unseen listener.

Recording and reading of a text experct of the book How To Disappear by Haytham El Wardany, and script: Philipp Rhensius aka Alienationist.

These experimental audio essay podcasts were created by Norient curator and sound artist Philipp Rhensius aka Alienationist in autumn 2021 as part of a residency at Klang Moor Schopfe 2021. Each piece refers to one sound installation exhibited there while going beyond it, merging Rhensius’ own sound art, poetry, interviews, and musical compositions.

Biography

Philipp Rhensius is an editor for Norient, writer, musician, sound artist, sociologist & musicologist, and curator from Berlin. His work investigates the connections between the micro- and macro-political and is driven by the idea that «feeling the chains» is the moment when emancipation begins. His music and sound art projects (Kl.ne, aphtc, Alienationst) merge sonic fiction with sardonic poetry and visceral sound. His texts are published in i.e. Taz, Spex, FAZ, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, WOZ and several book volumes. He runs the music label Arcane Patterns and hosts a monthly podcast on Noods Radio.
