Şüräle’s commissioned work for the soundwalks program is meant to trace invisible connections between people in search of a new home. Its title refers to a Bashqort saying: Yer tartmaha, hıw tarta (“If the soil can’t pull you in, the water will”), though in a somewhat fragmented way. For him, the familiar and often overused concept of tamır (root) loses its default shape as a tree growing from a single point. Instead, Airat envisions this “tree” through the lens of global entanglements — it emerges in multiple places at once, stretching its branches across time and distance in an attempt to unify different realities and create a sonic archive in which different aggregate states of memory are inscribed. His soundwalk is a chronicle of multiple spaces and multiple attempts to find belonging. He shapes the work as a mycelium-like yäyläw (nomadic encampment), where sounds of different landscapes intertwine. For this, Airat invites friends and colleagues who share similar experiences of non/belonging: Triennale participants Azadbek Bekchanov and Bilawa Ade Respati, as well as his fellow Resynthesising the Traditional lab alumni Jena Jang and Bruno Trochmann. The sounds they contribute are woven together with Şüräle’s sonic representations of soil — as a dense, uninterrupted droning resonance of something that has never been left behind — and wind — as a movement carrying the noises of new spaces emerging along the way.
