Brigitta Muntendorf & Michael Höppner: Memorial of Rebellion (2020, WP)
The audio-visual installation Memorial of Rebellion, by interdisciplinary duo Brigitta Muntendorf and Michael Höppner, combines music and theatre in an immersive space in which escapism and agitation, art and politics, contemporary music and pop, contemplation and action become fanfare and lullaby for the rebellion.
Developed out of their previous Songs of Rebellion, and influenced by the 2020 pandemic, the installation creates an intimate situation in the Marmorsalen, in which visitors (two at a time) take a socially-distanced journey down their personal memory-trail via two separated audio and video projections.
Wearing headphones, the visitors to this ceremony experience inaudible songs in a large, silent space; a space in which an individual commemoration of their own neglected or failed rebellions may take place. The pandemic is not a state of emergency; it is the radicalization of the status quo.
