The sound body is the blueprint of society
What makes sound bodies so unique? How do musicians create a human space filled with sound? How do different room acoustics of the Pinakothek der Moderne respond to musical phenomena? How does video art manage to turn the gaze inward and to fathom contemplative experience anew together with music, while both arts retain their autonomy? Through the conceived interaction of different sound bodies of no less than six renowned string quartet ensembles in the light of Manuela Hartel’s video art, one experienced on Dec. 9, 2022 in the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich what allows ‘the whole’ to emerge, which is more than the sum of its parts.
