A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.

Hartmut led “a workshop in the old-fashioned way of discussion, mutual exploration of ideas and samples; trying out what can be shared and where the fault lines show.”

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
