announcement on the phKultur FHNW website
The performer Dorothea Rust was on the move at the Muttenz campus in mid-April to investigate the building's structural and spatial features as a fictitious figure - not unlike an avatar.
She moved slowly and discreetly, along walls, over stairs and furniture, sometimes speaking, sometimes in silence. She was accompanied on her path by a team that filmed her from several perspectives using iPhone cameras. The footage was edited into a visual-acoustic meditation, a physical reflection on the building in bronze.
