Short Description / Kurzbeschreibung
Sylvia Hinz: gegenüber 1 – flüstern
A piece for open instrumentation and tape in close dialogue with the photo „Self-deceit #5“ (Rome, Italy, 1978) by Francesca Woodman.
The mirror in the video belonged to my great-grandmother Christine (1891 – 1976). The partly visible painting on the wall is by Carola Czempik.
The recordings for the tape with Taija, Oksana, Jeanne, Maria, and Renja were done in Korppoo, Finland, at the sauna of AARK.
