INTRO

The Live-Performance for the exhibition “…The Ever Changing Light” expands the atmospheric space of the impressionistic work by the late painter Karl Hagemeister into an immersive walkable installation.

Spread across a multitude of large canvases and surround sound the pieces are being analysed, remapped and dispersed into individual particles, further rearranged, layered and reassembled. The visitor is dragged into a sensual journey and an audiovisual experience of depth. In an unfolding of landscapes through light and shadow with brush strokes larger-than-life, the mood of the paintings is being captured into an original musical composition, fusing impressionistic grand piano and digital ambient sound art with the visual imagery into a poetic field. Excerpts from the Live-Performance were subsequently interwoven to form an art work running on its own accord, accessible to visitors of the parallel exhibition
