Review of 'Der Fluss bin ich' | Berlin Art Link
Briefly

Tatort Paderborn has returned with 'Der Fluss bin ich' focusing on the Pader River, Germany's shortest river. Curators Marijke Lukowicz and Sophia Trollmann prompt artists to view the river as an independent entity within urban life. Ten installations by artists explore ecological, social, historical, and cultural themes related to the city. A planned bike tour follows a linear route beginning underground near the river's source. Anushka Chkheidze's 'See Me' uses sound to create an acoustic portrait of the city by blending field recordings and choral singing, fulfilling the curatorial vision.
The river in question, the Pader, is the subject and setting of this year's edition, curated by Marijke Lukowicz and Sophia Trollmann: the shortest in Germany.
Together, the 10 installations made by local and international artists aim at tackling ecological, social, historical and cultural aspects related to the city's landscape.
The bike tour planned by the curators to visit the exhibition is linear and almost chronological; it starts 50 meters underground, virtually near the river source.
Chkheidze mixes field recordings with the Faculty's choral singing to create an 'acoustic portrait of the city' that aptly meets the curatorial prompt.
