Cosmofonia is an immersive, sensory film project by French anthropologist, filmmaker, and artist Verena Paravel. With this project, Paravel proposes a new genre of documentary film about animals and plants, filmed from their perspective or that of their immediate surroundings. Cosmofonia explores the inaudible sounds and voices of the planet, including infrasonic vibrations, seismic noises, codes between different species, and acoustic traces of ecological collapse and survival.
Shown for the first time in its entirety at mumok, the Cosmofonia project marks Verena Paravel’s first solo exhibition in a museum and comprises several newly produced chapters set in distinct locations and ecosystems, co-produced by the museum. 

Verena Paravel (born 1971 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland) lives and works in Paris. 

Curated by Fatima Hellberg, Lukas Flygare and Naoko Kaltschmidt
