As part of RathausClubbing 2022, a project by the city of Bochum, Rosa Hammes and I performed as a VJ duo, collaborating with Twin Swoosh (Electrolyric Duo) to create an immersive audiovisual experience.
dieterkong and Vivian Hardy (Twin Swoosh) blend lyricism and electronic sound, merging poetry - both classic and contemporary - into hypnotic, dynamic compositions. Their performance transformed literature into a vibrant sonic and cinematic experience, balancing structured arrangements with improvisation.
Our live VJ performance brought another layer of immersion to the show. Using real-time visuals, Rosa Hammes and I projected expressive animations that responded directly to sound and text, making the performance an evolving, sensory journey.
A special thanks to Arnaud Dubois for the film recordings.
"Our destiny is not frightening because it is unreal; it is frightening because it is irreversible and unyielding. Time is a river that carries me away, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire."
(Jorge Luis Borges, 1952)
