Latent Possibilities: Sonic Encounters and Sonic Thinking in Städelschule Edition 2024, 2025

Producer:  Ming Yuan
Editor: Steven Zultanski, Mikkel Kristensen, Teresa Awa, Dan Kwon
Writings by: Ming Yuan, Divijah Rajendra, Hendrik Arns, Augustine Paredes, Jamie Shi, Punch Viratmalee


At its core, this publication offers a dialogue between sound‘s metaphysical and material dimensions. Each contribution delves into the affiliated phenomena of sound—its ability to resonate beyond the cochlear, its function as a cultural and emotional signifier, and its role in mediating complex political and social realities. The essays collectively navigate through historical in- spection, dialectical inquiry, and interdisciplinary ap- proaches, shedding light on sound’s latent power to shape not just artistic output, but consciousness itself.

Together, these essays create a tapestry of sonic pos- sibilities, inviting readers to listen beyond the surface and engage with sound as a vital force in art and life. In navigating between the seen and the heard, the spoken and the felt, Latent Sonic Possibilities underscores the profound impact sound has on how we create, reflect, and ultimately, exist.
