Accessible via a web-based app and activated on Tempelhofer Feld’s upper landing strip, A Silent Opera for Anthropogenic Mass is a sonic account of the collapse of the Earth’s ecosystem. The installation and opera by Joana Moll is a soundscape that brings to our ear the unrestrained production of anthropogenic mass – the collective weight of the environment built by humans that since 2020 exceeds the total biomass of our planet.

The collective listening session and introduction to the work held by artist Joana Moll will guide the audience through the installation, challenging the listeners to question ways of sensing the scale of ecosystem transformation.

A libretto of the opera score is available online or for pickup from transmediale warehouse, located in transmediale studio at silent green, Gerichtstraße 35, 13347 Berlin.
