Licht Und Klang/Light And Sound [With CD] [German]

By Hans Peter Kuhn

Hans Peter Kuhn draws -- visibly and audibly -- on his long experience in the theatre: in the 70s he worked as a sound engineer at the Schaubuhne am Halleschen Ufer in Berlin, which was probably the most innovative theatre in Germany at the time; and for many years he worked together with the theatrical revolutionary Robert Wilson, mostly as a composer. Wilson's way of recomposing the relationship between real time and theatre time in his [double left angle bracket]theatre of suggestive images[double right angle bracket] complemented Kuhn's own ideas and experiments with the perception of time. As impressive as Kuhn's large-scale outdoor works in public space are, they are often designed to reveal their aesthetic power when viewed from a distance and without the supplement of a specific sound environment. His artistic research into sound-and-light is most fully embodied in his installations in enclosed space, of which he has created a large number -- in a wide variety of architectural contexts -- since the 1980s. These projects are comprehensively documented for the first time in this volume. Book jacket.
