Project description

Hubert Blanz has been exploring the connection between sound and installation for some time, taking into account the reception habits of the ‘young generation’. The work consists of two parts and is exhibited in two separate, adjacent rooms:

BLACK-BOX

Room size 750 x 800 cm, Dimensions of a phosphorous sculpture: 250 cm

Four phosphorescent deer sculptures float in the black box, glowing green in complete darkness. This is accompanied by the Stagfloor sound (original composition) with sampled deer roars. After 8 minutes, the sound ends and 4 neon spotlights illuminate the sculptures and thus the room. After a five-minute rest and exposure period, the light automatically goes out when the Stagfloor sound begins. This cycle repeats itself for the duration of the opening hours.

SPACE-POSTER

8 algraphy entitled Fall in music, 80 x 110 cm

The graphics show cloned beings floating in virtual spaces. The space posters contain the virtual implementation of an individual perception in the black box and thus form the context for the installation.
