Music performance by Lina Zylla
"Floating through purple shadows"
for the finissage of the exhibition "Visible. Linked. Free. - 100 years of GEDOK"
Lina Zylla's cross-media performances and installations combine in a painterly logic, with spatial settings reacting to live sound landscapes, such as a brushstroke on the wall, colored foils, her reliefs made of glass, ceramic or latex or a video projection. Her performances usually focus on musical memory as a place where perception, memory and construction overlap. In doing so, she refers to the places where she performs: here it is the Maximiliansforum. Among other things, she incorporates self-recorded sounds from the underpass, such as the thundering of the streetcar underground or the imagined clattering of an escalator.
The recorded and live voices are not only used as a counterpart, but above all as an extension of a fragmented consciousness. Zylla works with sampling as an open practice: fragments from videos, conversations, her own texts and AI voices are collected, filtered, shifted and reassembled. This creates layers, making the mental audible as a process of remembering, filtering, retaining and repeating.
