To Your Borders
And Back

LISTENINGS: The ephemeral experience of incense through music and object. A Noguchi Museum collaboration exploring contemporary incense rituals.

CO — O5

Created with Rosa Anschütz, the Berlin-based composer and sound artist known for intricate, emotionally resonant electronic compositions. To Your Borders and Back explores boundaries and return—the smell of thresholds crossed and recrossed. Anschütz's composition travels alongside the burning incense, both tracing the same path through time and space. In Koh-do, you don't smell incense, you listen to it—a meditation requiring the same attention as music. Part of Co / Listenings, launched in collaboration with the Noguchi Museum.

incense: SWEET, WOODY, LAVENDER
MATERIALS: lavender and cedar, brightened with thin, piercing flecks of light.
