Presented in Museum Schnütgen (St. Cäcilien Kirche) in the context of new talents - biennale cologne 2016. A short multimedia essay on 'matter mythology' as a one-day intervention in the Sankt Cäcilien interior—a Romanesque church/museum for European medieval art. The installation of texts and the sound essay together approach a technical term in the medieval philosophies: Hayula—literally meaning 'unformed monster' that tells the histories of non-human material and mythologies of matter-energy flow in different cultures of knowledge.
