The work of Ayumi Paul includes site responsive composition, ritual, performance, film, score weaving, poetry and installation. The resonance between mind and matter and the interrelatedness of all phenomena are essential to her conceptual approach to creating projects which are dedicated to listening.
She trained as a classical violinist at Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin and Indiana University and played concerts at the world’s most sought after concert halls for more than 15 years while developing her own artistic language and collaborating with an extensive range of artists from the experimental music and dance scene. In recent years she has become more widely known in the visual and performative art context. Her work was presented at Blockhouse Gallery Tokyo (2015), Kunsthalle Osnabrück (2016), Esther Schipper (2017), National Gallery Singapore (2018), and Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Paris (2018).
For 2020 the Philharmonie de Paris had commissioned the continuation of her composition WE ARE WE and her first institutional solo exhibition SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE was presented at Kunsthalle Osnabrück.
