“RED THREAD” (2021)

synopsis: RED THREAD is an audiovisual video projection that was conceived for the Altenburg in Weimar and tells the story of the building. Franz Liszt once resided in the Altenburg. After the uprising of 1848, Richard Wagner also found shelter with the composer in the Altenburg as a wanted revolutionary.

The graphic animations draw sketchy memories of that time on the facade of the Altenburg: on the one hand the bloody riots and street fights of the March Revolution, on the other hand the striving for freedom and unity, which moved to that uprising. The projection is accompanied by the composition "Am Grabe Richard Wagners" by Franz Liszt and “Walkürenritt” by Richard Wagner. It unites the coming into being and passing away, the blossoming, the poetic dimensions of music and the rebellion, which are figuratively written down on the facade.
