Chronotopic Recordings
(2025) Kunsthalle Düsseldorf – “IM KINOSAAL”
Film, Installation, Sound
The installation Chronotopic Recordings stages an abandoned laboratory setting that appears like a frozen trace of scientific — and simultaneously fictional — research. It forms part of a long-term space opera project situated between music film, sculptural spatial installation, and interactive opera. The work explores questions of power, identity, and security in a complex present shaped by ambiguity. At its core are shifting notions of guilt, morality, and responsibility — both individual and collective.
The exhibition space transforms into an immersive narrative environment: sculptural elements intertwine with a multichannel sound composition that weaves in musical motifs and song fragments from the opera. Visitors actively intervene in the sonic landscape, becoming participants in a speculative research scenario.
