FRANCE JOBIN – Laptop


An diesem Abend präsentiert die Kanadierin France Jobin aka i8u
ihre live Performance “und transit” – basierend auf ihrer gleichnamigen
Sound-Installation im Kreuzgang des Minoritenklosters in Krems.

“Wir alle besitzen die Angewohnheit, den Raum der unseren Weg zu unserem Ziel umgibt zu ignorieren.
Wie viele Durchgänge scheinen sie zu einem Ende zu führen, in Wirklichkeit aber sind sie das Ende selber.
Als ich das erste Mal den Kreuzgang betreten habe war ich von der Einsamkeit und der Praktikabilität berührt.
Ich habe begonnen, die verschiedensten Klänge in Krems UND Stein aufzunehmen, um daraus Klanglandschaften
für die Leere dieses Raumes zu schaffen. So enstand diese Installation „und transit“.”

the context of: the Hammer presents Restless Brilliance. A screening was showed
