No Weapon Formed Against Me Shall Prosper   The video-music-performance ‘No Weapon Formed Against Me Shall Prosper’ premiered in 2016 at the UNPAINTED ART FAIR in Munich. For the opening of Manuela Hartel’s exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zofingen, Switzerland, she unveiled her video installation with an adaption of this performance. The video image, projected onto satellite dishes and performers, condenses the setting into a multi-layered total work of art with organically produced, electronically processed sound that she interprets with her voice. Images and music seem to spring from the viewer’s inner perception and let Manuela Hartel (video, performance, voice) and Lorenz Schuster (electronics, sound) appear as “from another planet”, the… Read More →

The architectural sculpture as a reproduction of the sanctuary of the St. Barbara Church was designed and built especially for Rites de passage by the artists group REZ (Michal Mihalčík, Jakub Kročil and Jonás Lacnák).

2017 IM LICHT IM KLANG IM FEUER

Fairy tales of the Orient and digital art in BRIOL idea and viola: Gunter Pretzel media art: Manuela Hartel sound art: Gunnar Geisse Many fairy tales of the Orient owe their origins to looking into the fire in the night caravanserai. It is a look in which reality and fiction merge seamlessly into one another. And it is precisely this transition, in which digital media technology finds its original place. In this way, the voice of the great narrator Elsa Sophia of Kamphoevener can be revived: the most advanced technique can restore the timeless fascination of the imaginary.

  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 →

Concept, Video, Performance, Voice: Manuela Hartel Live-Electronics, Performance, Sound: Lorenz Schuster Foto: Verena Haegler No Weapon Formed Against Me Shall Prosper is a performative action within a stage setting extended by a large videoprojection. Live editable footage is projected on 5 satellite dishes and 2 performing artists merging the whole setting into one image. The performance is scanning our reception and transmission ranges as well as defence and protection mechanisms. It is a live research of receiving and transmitting images and organic sounds using electronic instruments and voice. The projected imagery becomes an extension of the space and seems to emerge from the viewers inner perspective, making Manuela Hartel (Video, Performance, Voice)… 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.
