Pan Daijing. Eröffnung mit performativer Aktivierung

In the organizer's words:

The live exhibition "Mute " by artist and composer Pan Daijing will open on 8.3.24 and 9.3.24 with a performative activation.

During the activation, visitors are invited to share the exhibition space with eight dancers. "Mute" [Stumm] is a complex composition of sound, light and movement and a romantic encounter that brings the audience, the performers and the little-used spaces of the Westgalerie in Haus der Kunst into relationship with each other.

Embedded in a composition that combines virtuoso singing and electronic music, individual voices emerge and fade away again and again. For many years, the human voice - its individuality, but also its uncontrollability - has been a central motif in Pan Daijing's work.

Within this sonic continuum, the audience can move freely through the landscape created by the artist. They themselves become part of this landscape and, as the artist says: "Everything becomes music". The lighting creates extraordinary visual axes that delicately frame silhouettes and cast long shadows as if by magic. The dancers appear as shadows; they oscillate between subject and object, living body and still image. Their decelerated movements conjure up a scenario of a constantly changing present. The darkness, in which everything appears less differentiated, allows visitors to follow their own associations and to continue thinking about Pan Daijing's poetic images themselves. Pan Daijing composes with immaterial materials such as time and temporality and weaves the various parallel situations into an emotional narrative about human vulnerability.

The activation of "Mute" [Stumm] will be performed by dancers Amie Jammeh, Chihiro Araki, Cary Shiu, Camilla Brogaard, Kelvin Burkard, Leah Katz, Wai Lok Chan and Pan Daijing.
