The work unfolds as a feedback loop: improvised poem → soundscape → video → poem → sound. Polowczyk cycled through Berlin, improvising poems on location in response to sound, surveillance infrastructure, and the friction between natural and human-made space. Jakob dismantled the recordings before listening to the words, treating voice as raw instrument. Baiada paired the resulting soundscapes with personal iPhone footage and found that every form of power she’d captured — an arrest, a tool, a camera, a communal ritual — was wielded by hands. Her film generated a second poem, which re-entered the music and reshaped its structure.
