IN AN ARCADIAN FUTURE TRAILER Zürcher Hochschule der Künste | ZHdK 2022

To the original composition by CIVIC GRACE, Living building materials is based on nature inspired design and the concept that living building materials will be the driving force in the future as man continues to strive higher and push the limits of physical forms. The work is based on biology, specifically corals and the way they self-repair, self-replicate and self-build. There is no better designer than nature. How will man build in harmony with nature in the future, rather than against it?

Bright Moments and KRAFTWERK BERLIN presents NTF Art Exhibition Jason Ting & Ashley Wright Sound by Civic Grace.

In Votary AR created by choreographer Gustavo Gomes is a collaboration between the artist, the expert of spatial design Pavel Cherniak, videographer Haris Ajrulahi, sound artist Civic Grace. In this work the audience can see a hybrid of different churches and dancers in iconic figures through iPads provided by the house. While films created by Gustavo Gomes and Haris Ajlurahi shows translations of mythological texts hummed as Hexadecimals in the temple. A series of rituals of washing heads and dancing are also based on binary coding translations of sacred texts. In the room the audience can also see an altar made of handmade icons in the shape of iPhones and shown as it for selling. The audience is invited to navigate through the space with the iPads while being able to watch the films, the sculptures and hearing the sound of the prayers. So they create a tableau vivant of walking figures holding cameras and seeing a reality that is only available through this device. As an introduction this already explains clearly the premises of the show: It is a human ritual filtered through technology, where people and subjective fantasies entrench as one thing in order to create a dystopian form of reality. The set designed by Cherniak is a result of a work in residency that the artists had in Tübigen in 2021and several trips that Cherniak did to Russia where he 3D-scanned more than 10 churches in small villages. With these templates he created a hybrid of train stations, city landscapes and sacred spaces. The films made by Gomes and Haris are interpretation of the dystopian future where the things made by humans worship the things that are unseen to us. Premiered at Moovy Festival Cologne on the 22nd of April 2022.

The performance collective Merle | Mischke | Klee together with the fashion designers and visual artists Guusje de Bruin and Sarah Kerbosch, transform the stage into a landscape made of a wide variety of recycled materials. Space, body, text, light and sound melt into various motifs reminiscent of evolution and metamorphosis. The dancers Coralie Merle and Mark Christoph Klee as well as the spoken word performer Jasiek Mischke make tangible what it means to be in constant transformation and to deal with ever new circumstances.

*** English below *** "Die zehnminütige Installation fordert den Betrachter auf nach oben zu schauen und über die unbemerkten Begegnungen und die ständige Veränderung und Verhandlung des Lebens nachzudenken, die nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit stattfinden. Wir sind alle Teil von etwas Größerem und doch nur ein kleiner Fleck in Zeit und Raum." - Pablo Sansalvador "The ten-minute installation asks viewers to look up and reflect on the blind encounters and constant shifting and negotiation of life that take place after dark. We are all part of something larger, yet only a small speck in time and space." - Pablo Sansalvador Direction, concept and choreography in collaboration with the team: Pablo Sansalvador (New Zealand) - www.pablosansalvador.com Dancers: Einav Kringel (Israel) & Giordan Cruz (USA) Music: Ashley Wright (Australia) - www.ashleyalexandra.net Dramaturgical and choreographic assistance: Mar Rodriguez (Spain) Camera: Andreas Usenbenz (Germany) - www.studiosechzehn.com Technical installation: Alexander Rehm (Germany) - www.audio-express.de DUSK is supported in the program Kultursommer 2021 by the Beauftrage der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (BKM) with funds from NEUSTART KULTUR.
