ECHOLOT Festival 2016, Video Art from Manuela Hartel on Vimeo. The ECHOLOT Festival (1-3 July 2016) at Castle Kempfenhausen on Lake Starnberg transformed the castle into a “Gesamtkunstwerk” making a fresh attempt to the definition of Neue Musik. The audience had a comprehensive listening and viewing experience with concerts of renowned artists, complemented by unique audio and video installations in the courtyard and the park: a 4 – channel soundfield, video projections on the facade of the castle and a listening garden in the rotunda which through projections became a magic garden at night. Each day of the festival ended with a performative Nach(t)klang/Nightly-Echo in the summery park. <iframe src=”https://player.vimeo.com/video/177838416″ width=”640″… Read More →

I LIVE IN HELL – LET ME LIVE from Manuela Hartel on Vimeo. The diptych was developed by the Video Artist Manuela Hartel and refers to Galonska’s concept of her Henry VI adaptation (see next page). Perpetrator and victim are portrayed by the same person on parallel screens. Whereas Galonska’s life-performance was concentrating on speech, in the video-performance the words are only spoken inwardly. There is no sound, just facial expression.

Der Beamer überträgt diese Welt auf die Leinwand, die inmitten des realen Bühnenraumes gespannt ist. Vor der Leinwand agiert die Performerin. Durch die Interaktion… Read More →
