Elsa Blanc-Brude: Contemplation
listening session
8pm-10pm

Elsa Blanc-Brude performs an experimental piece of music live. Visitors are invited to come, go, rest, move and change their position in the immediate surroundings of the Ball Theater for the entire duration of the live composition. Contemplatively, she develops a sonic and poetic landscape that critically reflects on access to information streams and invites the audience to move between the "real" world and digital social interfaces.

Elsa is a French artist living in Leipzig. She studies media art at the HGB in Leipzig and at the ISBA Besançon in France. She focuses her research on listening experiences and their technological implications. This fascination is guided by feminist questions, an interest in their transformation and the interplay with virtual and real worlds. She explores the interactions between spaces, sounds and human bodies through sound compositions and installations.

María Isabel Pineda Yupanqui: Non-geographical traces - my home in 2024
Listening experience (30 min)
20:00 and 20:30 at the Fabrik (meeting point Ball Theater)

Nicht geographische Spuren - my home in 2024 is a performative sound installation in which the artist invites the audience to lie and sit on cushioned platforms around her while she mixes spatial sounds that sonically reconstruct her idea of home. The collected sounds correspond to the affectionate gestures of daily routines, from waking up to breakfast rituals to cooking together in the evening. There is the sound of the recipe she learned from her mother and the sound of the recipe she teaches a friend. In this way, the artist shares her current version of home.

María Isabel Pineda Yupanqui is a Peruvian architect/artist currently living in Leipzig, whose work draws attention to the socio-cultural interfaces between the different communities present in her life. She tries to identify situations that she herself struggles with (mainly related to issues such as discomfort, foreignness and mistakes) and then locates them in collective processes. To represent these themes, the artist works with spatial storytelling experiences where exchange and discussion are always encouraged and welcome.
