Bruno Duplant als Multimediakünstler zu bezeichnen, ist wohl die einzige Möglichkeit, seinem Werk in seiner Gesamtheit gerecht zu werden. Er komponiert, fotografiert, schreibt und so weiter. Vielleicht ist er einer der interessantesten Künstler der Gegenwart und Michael Pisaro-Liu beschreibt das sehr treffend (siehe sein Zitat). Mit seiner neuesten Veröffentlichung versucht er, das Unsichtbare, das Geisterhafte, …

Over the …

Somewhere in between Heaven and the heavens, between ‘could’ and ‘clouds’ is Marc Behrens Clould. Composed of sounds recorded inside aeroplanes, airports, and other flight-related locations, this work brings together the reality and myth of the skies. An area once dominated by deities has now become a travel lane for millions, and while the mystery seems …
