You’ll be there when I’ll be near

The exhibition in the atrium presents a site-specific installation by Hannah Weinberger. The artist works primarily with video, audio, and performance. She creates installations featuring video and audio recordings and contextualizes them spatially.

In Weinberger’s solo exhibition at Badischer Kunstverein, she combines the visual and sound elements of her existing work into a new, site-specific video and sound collage for the first time. She draws some of her material from recordings that she collected during her stay in California, which she mixes with recordings from her everyday surroundings and from other journeys: a flowing river, fish in an aquarium, birdsong.

The artist is less concerned with specific places than with the affective power of images and sounds: she is interested in the responses produced in visitors who experience – who view and hear – the installation space. She captures and creatively makes use of the atmospheres conjured by places, which are interchangeable to a certain extent. Far from simply presenting her recordings, Hannah Weinberger stages them in a spatial context, playing asynchronous recordings to generate an ever-changing mix of sound and video elements. The videos and soundscapes come together to produce an entirely new and immersive space through which visitors may drift. As a result, each visit to the exhibition is a unique experience and a game of chance.
