The sound artist Frauke Eckhardt studied sculpture and 'art and public space' at the AdBK Nuremberg and audiovisual art at the HBKsaar. After studying as a master student with Christina Kubisch, she was awarded scholarships to the Akademie der Künste Berlin, the Künstlergut Prösitz and Die Höge, among others. She taught sound art at the HBKsaar, at the JGU Mainz | Department of Music and most recently held the guest professorship Sound II at the KHM Cologne.

Her spatial sound installations and interactive sound objects deal with questions about everyday spatial and temporal references, their social influences and discursive developments. Beyond the obvious, such as historical traces, socially determined form processes and vital communication in flora and fauna beyond the human threshold of hearing, performative approaches and inner resonance spaces are opened up to the soundscape. In the multi-sensory field of experience of the works, the presentation space becomes a spatio-temporal display of emphatic, whole-body experience. Radiophonic audio pieces complement her visual work.

In November 2024, “NACHHALL”, the memorial site she developed and realized for the victims of the persecution of Sinti and Roma, was opened to the public in Saarbrücken. With a sculpturally framed empty space made of bronze in the middle of a radial square and a composition of sonic traces of remembrance that can be played inside it, a place of living remembrance and contemporary encounters has been created in the midst of urban life
