My interest in documenting and producing sounds goes hand in hand with walking as a method of data collection during the fieldwork. The direct ties between sound and movement guide my artistic practices and ethnographic methods.  Throughout my fieldwork, I critically engaged with walking and its performative nature, drawing upon concepts such as Walking Art, sonic-critical walking, water walks, the notion of flânerie, dérive, and sensobiographical walking—approaches that I experimented with as a form of multisensorial ethnography in my own artistic practices, with students in my teachings and with Amo collective Berlin as a form of multisensorial and collaborative ethnography.
