This Is How We Tell It Now is a sound and mist installation at the entrance of Badeschiff. Four speakers are mounted on the jetty that leads to the ship. These emanate an abstract quadrophonic soundscape that is enhanced by mist. Visitors then enter a passage of white noise. The sound abates as soon as they are aboard.

The soundscape on the jetty is made up of overlapping recordings of stories that are told by ten different persons in the oral history tradition of their own languages. It is about questioning European ideas of knowledge and countering an exoticising notion of mythology by showing that story-telling is a human act that is practised in every culture. The languages include Basque, Irish, Palestinian Arabic, Nepali and Twi, which mostly belong to under-represented or oppressed cultures.
