HOME >> 48 Stunden Neukölln 2026

The live performance occurs as a temporary activation at specific moments within the HOME installation. It does not represent or explain the installation; instead, it coexists with the visual and auditory structure within the same space, briefly shifting it into a different intensity.

Three performers share the space shaped by projection and sound. Each performer uses contact microphones that amplify breath, heartbeat, and internal bodily vibrations. These internal rhythms become audible, dispersing into the space and merging with HOME’s existing sonic layer.

Movement is not based on predetermined choreography. The performers move by listening, responding to their own internal rhythms, to the sounds from other bodies, and to the conditions offered by the space. The bodies communicate with one another, yet this communication is neither fixed nor constant. At times they draw closer, forming shared rhythms; at other times, they separate and return to their individual orientations.

Throughout the performance, sound, body, projection, and space exist in continuous contact and interaction. The intensity of this contact shifts from moment to moment. Sometimes sound comes to the foreground; sometimes the body’s position in space becomes pronounced; sometimes projection directs perception. No element remains permanently at the centre; balance is established through these variable relations.

The bodies may situate themselves in front of, within, or between projections. At times they merge with the image; at other times, they withdraw from it. These encounters do not produce a narrative; instead, they open a space where the relationship between sound, body, image, and space is reconstituted each time.

When the performance ends, the bodies withdraw from the space. The visual and auditory installation continues in its own ongoing state. Yet, for a brief period, HOME is experienced not as a fixed structure, but as a temporary condition shaped through sound, presence, and perception.
