In FOLDS (In tape fields), KMRU explores how urban infrastructure conditions and shapes listening in public space. Working with listening walks, detours, and incidental recordings, he approaches Düsseldorf as an auditory field in which routines, rhythms, and expectations overlap and intersect.
The work unfolds across multiple sites and loudspeaker systems throughout the city. Sound-based motifs, loops, and field recordings can be heard at staggered intervals and recur without forming a closed whole. Time is stretched, interrupted, or folded back in on itself. Meaning emerges in passing by, in lingering, or equally through what goes overheard. Rather than offering a fixed cartography, the work opens out to expansive, layered modes of perception.
