Resonanz Im Fotoraum
Performance by Oliver Bedorf
Dramaturgic advice: Philine Herrlein
Oliver Bedorf focuses on the sound aspects of the location – the architecture is deliberately used as a resonance-chamber. Four Ghettoblasters will be carried around one after another following a set choreography while playing different sound tracks. By altering the ghettoblasters’ positions the sound impressions will also be changing, for the audience as well as for the performer. At the same time the balance between these four soundtracks will vary and the resonances will change. The soundtracks consist of both field recordings from the location itself and analogue electronic soundscapes. The devices will be illuminated by mini-spotlights: traces of sound and traces of light. Audio-cassettes are used as sound-medium.
