Perspective Matters – Two Staged Concerts

perspective matters – two staged concerts (trailer) from DISTRUKTUR on Vimeo.

December 13th & 14th 2012 – 8pm

Berghain, Am Wriezener Bahnhof, 10243 Berlin

On the occasion of its 15th anniversary, ensemble mosaik is developing a two-day concert project with the Brazilian 16mm film duo Distruktur and the director Thomas Fiedler. Titled perspective matters, works by six contemporary composers will be performed in an extensive installation. Thoughts on the psychology of perception are at the root of this project; a musician, film artist and director investigate and shape listening perspectives with artistic means. They will test the influence on listening habits; the possibilities inherent in different listening perspectives and situations in space will be sounded out and consciously applied.

The same way an audio guide leads visitors’ gazes through collections and to individual art objects in visual arts exhibitions, this two-day project will guide the public’s listening and focus on perspectives and possibilities. The auditory influence isn’t part of an educational objective; instead, the process of perception is the subject of artistic analysis. The audience experiences the variety of possible hearing experiences. Perspectives are simultaneously the issue and the central element for shaping both evenings.

Artistic Director: Bettina Junge
Director: Thomas Fiedler/Kommando Himmelfahrt
Musical Direction: Enno Poppe
Film: Distruktur – Melissa Dullius & Gustavo Jahn
Actress: Nadine Kittler

Directors Lounge Screening

Guillaume Cailleau: Bolex, Loves and Other Measures
16mm and Live Super-8 Performance
Thursday, November 29th 2012, 21h
Z-Bar, Bergstraße 2, 10115 Berlin-Mitte

Guillaume Cailleau bridges conceptual working methods with playful references to the avant-garde. This playful mix of forms, expanded cinema, experiments with human perception, and poetic compositions makes the viewing experience very enjoyable for its richness. His sincerity, combined with a joyful wink of the artist’s eye add to this impression. Explorations – or games – with color separation, the basics of color photography, are as much part his artistic arsenal as the lyric beauty of rich black and white contrast of high-con film combined associatively on an optical printer.

The artist will perform live, and will be available for Q&A.
