EigenLeben
an audio-visual Installation, 2013
for Rainer*
"Places have characteristic features due to their occurrence, but only through presence can atmosphere be perceived.
The way of being present shapes them too."
I created this work for the final exhibition of my Bachelor degree. Empirical video and sound recordings of an empty apartment form the starting material for this audio-visual composition. The intuitive placement of the film sequences creates a portrait of a place. The audio level is based associatively on the cut of the image and thus opens up emotional spaces. The theoretical foundation for this work is an essay of mine about our experience of space and inhabiting places.
