[tʃlˈfɪk] – Klingende Kulturgeschichte im Schanfigg

«[tʃlˈfɪk]: Sounding cultural history in the Schanfigg»

Since 22 June 2024, sound installations have been placed along the Schanfigg village trail, bringing the cultural history of the Schanfigg to life with the senses.

Diverse approaches to local cultural history
The installations rely on a strong local reference and fan out the local cultural history. For example, après-ski hits can be heard from a jukebox next to the Hochwang sports lifts in Fatschél, and random electronic frequencies can be heard in front of the moated castle in Lüen, raising awareness of the interplay between hydropower and electricity. Other stations deal with the topic of traditional crafts, such as threshing grain, the sound of the Walser dialect, or the backstory around the Swiss music hit "Gigi vo Arosa".
A cultural tourism project that mediates and creates identity at the same time.

In Tschiertschen, the installations "Silent Saw" at the Sage and "Reverberation" are located in the bazaar.
In Praden, "Fernsein" tells the story of emigration.

Sound installation "Silent Saw"
In 1920, a new, covered saw was built in Tschiertschen. It rarely wakes up thanks to the power of the water and makes a lot of noise. And what else? Can you hear the silence all around? Or does the saw never really fall silent? This station invites you to explore the supposed silence with all your senses with a larch wood funnel – designed by Studio Capisci.

Sound installation "Reverberation"

In the bazaar, the farmer's shop and kiosk in the middle of Tschiertschen, things are going on like they did back then, when the shop was open and the most important meeting place in the village. Private, political and many other topics were discussed and rumors were also spread. The scenes can be heard from the CD. The text of the radio play was written by Paul Steinmann, the direction by Markus Keller and Marie-Claire Niquille.

Sound installation «Fernsein»
In Ausserpraden there is an interactive sound station that commemorates the emigrants. Necessity forced them to leave around 1850. Many traveled to America, the Atlantic coast or the Mediterranean to find a livelihood. Those who stayed behind read their letters and imagined the journey and the sea. The sounds of the surf can be imitated yourself.
