Divine Orchestra is a site-specific installation exploring the disruptive nature of performative hyper-religiosity, particularly through sound. The work examines how religious audio practices—such as church bells in Germany or high-volume loudspeakers in Kenyan Pentecostal churches—assert dominance in public space, often without scrutiny, especially when stemming from normative Christian contexts.

Combining sculptural, material, spatial, and audio elements, the installation reflects on the intersections of worship, power, and public life. Drawing from personal observations as a Kenyan living in Germany, it brings together sounds from churches like Legio Maria, SDA, and Kenya Assemblies of God, alongside inspiration from St. Michaelis Church’s historic bells. Set within HFBK’s cathedral-like Aula Vorhalle, the piece presents a humorous yet critical reflection on how spiritual expression becomes both spectacle and imposition—raising questions about the boundaries of worship in shared spaces.
