MIEKO SUZUKI is a sound artist, composer and DJ born in Hiroshima and based in Berlin.
Suzuki deals with time and space as her primal matter. In highly unconventional sound performances, for which she uses drones and field recordings, the crackling of electrical circuits and fragments of vinyl records, she always goes for the unexpected. She couples the raw power of sound with the tenderness of subtle modulations and turns any space into a playground for sonic adventures.
Since 2009, Mieko Suzuki runs the bi-monthly, multidisciplinary event Kookoo, together with Arno Raffeiner at OHM Gallery in Berlin.
SEDA MIMAROǦLU is a poet and artist from Istanbul based in Berlin.

Her work was recently shown at Stations and Periode in Berlin.
