Ghost of Aural Trauma (G.O.A.T.) is a confrontation between a visitor and an architecture of war whose friction produces echoes from its past.

 

The particular geometry of the WWII air raid shelter known as the Winkelturme was invented as an air raid shelter to deflect falling bombs without immediate detonation.

While after the explosion the goats appeared to be unharmed, they had in fact been deafened by the shelter's interior shockwave.

The film depicts a figure engaging with some of the towers that still exist today in Zossen through collecting field recordings and eventually performing foley.

Other bodies begin to appear throughout the town and populate the towers themselves.
