An evening between sound, space, and quiet shifts
On September 12, 2026, contemporary sound art meets performance at the Bilker Bunker: Soft Signals opens the space for Arnica Montana from Paris and Constanza Castagnet from Amsterdam. The performance evening takes place as part of the exhibition festival; the exhibition is regularly open to the public beforehand. The venue, a former air raid shelter, enhances the experience of resonance, density, and physical perception.

Sound art as aesthetic experience
The exhibition soft signals understands sound not as a background, but as artistic material that shapes spaces and sharpens perception. According to Bilker Bunker, the festival explores ecological, physical, and social processes through sound; seismic data is translated into visual compositions, air currents and heat generate autonomous sound systems, and listening itself becomes an embodied practice. The artistic experience here thrives on polyphony, vibrations, and quiet shifts in space. ([bilkerbunker.de](https://bilkerbunker.de/en/ausstellungen))
Arnica Montana: Sound between ambient and noise
Arnica Montana works as a sound artist and musician with an aesthetics that appears both delicate and rugged. According to the organizer's text, she builds her own synthesizers, lets herself be guided by hearing, and develops her pieces live like wordless narratives. Her approach combines improvisation, electronic sound exploration, and a sensitive perception of space. Her artistic practice is described on her official website as Healing Music, Live Energy, and genre-crossing sound language.

Constanza Castagnet: Voice, technology, and experimental environments
Constanza Castagnet is an Argentine artist in Amsterdam who works with voice, technology, sound, text, performance, and video. Her work creates experimental environments where non-verbal and elusive forms of expression challenge social norms and prejudices. Her biography mentions a master's degree at the Sandberg Institute; her own website describes a practice that explores eerie, mysterious constellations and forms of communication beyond the obvious.
