Rhythms of living
a collaborative work gathering photography,
algorithmic music and contemporary dance, 2023. 

Rhythms of Living is a performative walk that introduces the audience to the specifics of modernist architecture in the Weitlingkiez in Berlin-Lichtenberg, specially built for workers and employees in the style of the Neues Bauen. It’s characterized by a clear formal language and high functionality, with the
aim of improving the quality of life through access for all to large green courtyards, light, and central heating.

In the project, my photographs of architectural details are used as graphic scores for Felipe Vaz’s algorithmic compositions, and both inform the choreography of Annekatrin Kiesel and Nicole Michalla.

The walk-in opera format includes a guided tour accompanied by algorithmic music, contemporary dance, and a photographic libretto.

Walking at the rhythm of 102 beats per minute around the perimeter of a big empty room. At the same time, knocking on the wall as if checking the health of the surrounding architectural body.
