If you put your head into a Summloch and breathe out deeply humming, the sounds you emit cause the object to resonate. If you place your hand on your neck, you can feel the vibrations. The vibrations will affect your body; depending on the pitch, the buzzing triggers a stronger or weaker tingling in the body. The result is a harmonious feeling of well- being.
A Summloch is a buzzing or humming hole, and it can have different shapes and be made of ceramic, beeswax, tadelakt or plaster with each of these earthbound materials having its own sound. Summlöcher are participatory sculptures that, in the digital age, remind us that we are sentient, perceiving beings.
