@RaumPro Bremen

2023

​

During his stay at RaumPro, Michael Rieken created an acoustic-visual situation that plays with the perception and temporality of inner cities and asks about the potential of design and decay. He showed photographs of cityscapes combined with sound recordings from the inner cities, which, through further processing, reached a musical level that culminated in two concerts. A table at which Michael Rieken served tea invited visitors to linger in the room and enter into dialogue with the room, the artist and other visitors.
