Presence / Absence ::: Into The Void
June - July / 28th - 6th / 2003 Center for Jewish Culture, Krakow / Poland |
|
The focus of the installation "Presence/Absence ::: Into the Void" was a reflection upon the history and the recent changes in the krakovian neighbourhood of Kazimierz. The installation was working on the basis of an attempt of reversing the seasons: from summer to winter. To do so, Meissner maked the use of filedrecordings in the streets of Kazimierz done during his visit in Febrauary 2003. Aditional soundworks created for this installation were Meissner´s adaptations and compositions influenced by the soundtrack of “Schindler´s List”. This installation was accompanied by a series of postcards, based on Meissner´s picture series done during his visit in February 2003. READ MORE |

Jerusalem: Pirate Radio Stations February / 1st - 8th / 2002 Podewil, Berlin / Germany |
 |
The primary sound sources are recordings of pirate radios in Jerusalem, mostly illegal religious, fundamentalist Jewish or Arab stations with a range of few kilometres. The spectrum is densely occupied and contested by local alternative culture and youth radios. By means of the random function of CD-players, the sound material is remixed and sampled into ever new ambiences, from complex and dense to minimalist.
