2024 SCHLOSS GLEINA, SAXONY-ANHALT (D)
>HearT’BEAT<
A Musical Performance in the Resonant Spaces of Schloss Gleina
Performance
Three musicians in three distant corners of Schloss Gleina – separated by walls, connected through sound.
Rainer von Vielen, Julian Sartorius and Manuela Hartel work with acoustic impulses, electronic textures, rhythmic fragments. Everything they transmit converges in the grand ballroom – live-streamed, layered, interwoven – forming a constantly shifting sonic body.
At the center: a structure made of transparent PVC tubing, through which sound and light flow like an extended circulatory system. Moving through it, singing, Manuela Hartel disappears into loops and tunnels, then reemerges. Her voice travels, flickers, settles – a resonant heartbeat in a system of breath, matter, and time.
Installation
The PVC tube installation in which the performance took place remained in place throughout the KOSMOS[KA·OS] exhibition in September 2024 at Schloss Gleina, Saxony-Anhalt. From November 15, 2025, to February 22, 2026, the exhibition will travel to Kunsthaus Zofingen in Switzerland.
