The Journey of the Earthworm / Die Reise des Regenwurms
Pre-edit – for radia.fm. By Gabi Schaffner, 2016
The earthworm travels on radio frequencies, earthy hacks and conclomerates of audio matter. S/he passes through mosquito clouds (yes, this earthworm can fly!), bird song, thunderstorms, attends a Finnish summer theatre show, listens to a boy and his mother singing, visits the aucoustic remnants of a German garden show, finds happiness in the ringing of porcelain bells and, finally, merges into silence and is gone.
Voices:
- Teuri Haarla, on occacion of his exhibition at Galerie Hilbertraum, 16th January 2016, Berlin, Germany
- Unknown but stunningly convincing actors of a „kesäteatteri“ 2010 in Mid Finland
- Gibrain and Virpi Nurmi in their garden in Gießen, Germany

Teuri Haarla is a Finnish self-taught artist who works with drawings, performance and architecture. For his performances he goes into a state he calls „bio drunk“. He also built „Plantheon“ tower, 17 metre high and based on the geometry of nature.
During the opening we had a talk in which he explained some of this work and philosophy.
