(2,2) 0 - DORA builds on the framework of the project (2,2)0 - Sonic Architecture of the Inner Space, which proposes a cinematic experience through an interactive sound installation. (for more info, click here)

(2,2) 0 - DORA is a navigation into a psychoacoustic space exploring the inner through spatial embodiment. A poetic gesture that allows the release of geological and historical trauma through poetic invocation; the sonic architecture is created within the historical context of the 2WW German U-Boat bases Dora 1 and 2 in Trondheim, Norway. Given the known environmental impact of the Dora Naval Base on Trondheim harbor and surroundings (2,2) 0, DORA focuses on the Earth materials affected by such construction and how they are currently expressed in an environmental, historical, and cultural context.

The construction of the bunker Dora 1 started in 1941, while Dora 2 remained unfinished. The base was the largest naval base in northern Europe at that time, and the strategic location in Trondheim was secured and well-guarded by three other locations in the mouth of Trondheim Fjord: Agdenes Fyrstasjon, Hysnes Fort, and Brettingen Fort.

By using sonic references of echolocation, navigation, environment traces, and sealife aural qualities, (2,2) 0 - DORA  connects the 4 historical naval base surveillance locations in Trondheim Fjord: Agdenes Fyrstasjon, Hysnes Fort, Brettingen Fort, and Dora. The work is a poetic composition of sounds and ritualistic gestures, collected and created through the technique of shamanistic drum journeying, done in collective sessions at the four places.
