Blutige Schneise Im Dickicht Der Unahnung
I was invited by Vakhtang Sikharulidze to the „Quartier am Hafen“ studio building to realize a music performance in his studio as part of the Museums Night Cologne 2023. The show lasted about an hour, with the space remai- ning open so that guests could enter and leave at any time, and was entitled „Blutige Schneise im Dickicht der Unahnung“. While Mr. Sikharulidze presen- ted his works in the same room, so that, among other things, a video was shown on a huge flat screen and there was a desk with an artist‘s book, I took up the space with music, my voice, a cymbal and my movements. My performance turned the exhibition space into a backdrop and the artworks into furnishings. Among other, the albums „Wir Sind Die Leute“ and „Liederabend“ were play- ed. The backing track wafted dully over the faulty system, while the audience stood against the walls or left the room again. The voice cut sharply through the pulsating carpet of sound until these dynamics took on the form of a powerplay between the interior and the performer.
