ReRouting through Readings is a new series where words are accompanied by footsteps and wayfinding. Each session invites the sharing of a publication or text in-motion, opening space for reflections to shift with the rhythm of our surroundings. Walking becomes a way of reading differently, letting our surroundings reshape meaning and spark new interpretations.
For the first edition, Ruoming Zhao presents her bilingual (English & Chinese) artist novel Silence Ball: Digital Mother. Composed of interlinked short writings that weave mythology with speculative feminism, each chapter exists both independently and as part of a shared world order. For this walk, selected chapters will be read together, transforming reading into a collective experience that drifts between fiction and reality. Pausing at locations around Haus der Statistik and Alexanderplatz, we will let the texts resonate with the urban environment, engaging with the text’s themes of body, time, gravity, kinship, and cross-species relations.
Bio: Zhao Ruoming is a Berlin-based Chinese artist. Through her multimedia practice, she explores planetary time travel and cross-species existence from the migratory perspective of trauma, memory, and matter—imagining alternative forms of everyday life and relationships.
This session is presented in partnership with Co-Making Matters as part of Haus der Statistik’s 10-year celebrations – Tage der Offenen Türen.
