Installation
and Performance by Tiziana Bertoncini in the bridge guard residency
Tiziana built from objects that Danube brought the installation
"Panta Rhei – Danube Time Spaces". Children form the fourth
class verbalised their associations with Danube and have been animated by
Tiziana to sing differently as they are used to. Tiziana recorded their
voices by and mixed them with sounds of Danube. A new mysterious language
emerged.
In the music performance "SOSIA – the trip in the border zone
between "I" and "Others" for a violin / person and
space the spectators become witnesses (voyeurs) of presence traces of the
other, of the suspected but not recognised. The way leads form the
loneliness through conquering the individual "I" to the
discovery of the "other" as part of oneself.
