Bea Targosz: Stories from the Reeds

Stories from the Reeds

This project is kindly supported by Polytec technologies.

In the installation by Bea Targosz we are listening to the quiverings, captured using a highly sensitive laser vibrometer, recorded in May 2025 in the area of Floating Berlin. A laser pointer, measuring 1×1 mm, was aimed at a reed stem growing on the site, partially above the water level and partially submerged in the reservoir.The micro-vibrations of the reed’s structure reflect the sequence and number of events and also reveal the multitude of organisms inhabiting the reservoir, forming a fragile narrative about the place and its inhabitants.
