Natascha Süder Happelmann: Mobile Hörstation Ankersentrum (Surviving in the Ruinous Ruin)
Titanik gallery hosts the mobile listening station Ankersentrum (surviving in the ruinous ruin) by Natascha Süder Happelmann. The installation realised in cooperation with Goethe-Institut Finnland first exhibited at the biennale di Venezia in 2019. At the German Pavilion, the Ankersentrum consisted of an expansive installation; its structural, sculptural and sonic elements opening up the space for an immediate somatic experience. Tribute to whistle, created by six musicians and composers from various musical backgrounds and genres, uses the whistle as its main instrument; its piercing tone is processed into a variety of rhythms and sounds. At Titanik, alongside the sound piece are three video works to the leading the way to the Ankersentrum or Ankerzentren, transit camps for asylum seekers in Bavaria, tomato plantations in Puglia, and a rescue ship in the customs port of Trapani. Accompanying the exhibition is the publication mobile Hörstation Ankersentrum (surviving in the ruinous ruin), designed by Maziyar Pahlevan and published by Archive Books.
In collaboration with Susanne Sachsse, Jessica Ekomane, Maurice Louca, DJ Marfox, Jako Maron, Tisha Mukarji, Elnaz Seyedim Maziyar Pahlevan, Sina Ahmadi, Jasper Kettner and many others.
