Der
MUSAR ist ein großer Textkorpus, in dem jüdische Denker aus aller Welt darüber debattierten, wie die heiligen Schriften der Torah zu verstehen und anzuwenden seien. Im Rahmen der
Musart Residenz entwickelte ich die Installation A SOFT TONGUE BREAKS THE BONE, bei der Besucher*innen per Textkommentar zu den alten ethischen Texten Verbindung aufnahmen.

My
residency was part of the MUSART program initiated by a scholar group of the University of Hamburg researching the
MUSAR, a large body of Jewish Moralistic writings. Thinkers from all over the world have enjoyed a long tradition of debating how to give believers an orientation on how to apply appropriate ethical behaviour, as written in the Torah.
The participatory sound installation A SOFT TONGUE BREAKS THE BONE, shown at the OPENHAUS in November 2022, invited the audience to approach the Musar by commenting on it. Funding: MUSART artist-in-residency program developed by the Emmy Noether Junior Research Group “Jewish Moralistic Writings (Musar) of the Early Modern Period: 1600–1800” and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
