SpaceSoundIntervention

The underlying spatial concept is an intervention in the 5 historical exhibition rooms at Pariser Platz, implementing a central axis through all the rooms – cut. Raimund Kummer uses the space for a vivid interplay of 5 sculptural fragments, in which Daniel Ott's site-specific composition is performed by up to 5 instrumentalists over a period of 5 weeks, for at least 5 hours a day.

His composition uses musical cuts as a principle and responds to a jointly produced soundtrack that makes walking audible as a recurring sound. This experiment of spatial intervention, musical composition, and the choreography of both entices visitors to discover spatial and auditory encounters with the musicians within the space.
