A building to listen to: Interactive installation in the Kulturschaufenster
What does a roof sound like? And how does a façade sound? And how does the viewer see themselves in it? With a very special installation, artists Angelika Flaig (installation) and Peter Schwieger (music) bring the Alvar Aalto House of Culture to life. Their artwork Carte Blanche, which will be visible and audible in the cultural showcase EinAusBlick in the Alvar Aalto House of Culture (former Kulturinfo) from Wednesday, October 8, deals intensively with the building of the famous Finnish architect.
Consisting of four figurines, glass, sound and light, the installation, which is white during the day, unfolds a poetic effect at night when bathed in black light. The viewer finds themselves reflected in the glass as part of the artwork. Four pieces of music about the library, the façade, the roof and the cellar, which can be accessed via a QR code on a cell phone, make the whole thing audible.
The installation can be seen and heard until November 5. During an artist talk on November 5 at 12 noon, the artist Angelika Flaig will talk more about her work on site.
