Views on the city by Markus Stein (idea, camera, text) and Christoph M. Gosepath (concept) in a first series of ctp 5.3 “how we experience disease and the city”.

The episodes deal with normality, peculiarities, distortions or illusions in subjective views which reveal the range of possible perceptions. To which extent you can draw conclusions to the illness of the observer is something we won’t like to answer here! Please refer to your doctor or pharmacist for that …

War

Music heals wounds and mends abysses. But no one can rise again.
War is not like poetry.
War is like a sound that shrinks you to a point.
War has filled all the organs and stopped the will to live.
Get out of my body.
Get out of my life. I am stronger than you. My heart is stronger than yours. Even if you yourself have no heart.
You possess nothing but the orders of your superior.
Away! Go back to the lava of which you are made!
Ukraine is none of your business! Ukraine is a holy land where the Virgin Mary herself walks …
Blessed Virgin! Our dear Lady! I beseech Thee, place a holy veil over my warrior.
Protect him with the dome of our prayers. Protect him from the bullets of the enemy.
And make him resistant to the fire of the dragon with a sword of the Archangel in his hand, with his shield …
I could do much for Ukraine, but I hold your hand, my son.
I could weave a web, paint a picture. But I hold your hand, my son.
I could have delivered food, I could have backed them up. I could have enlisted in the military.
I could have … I could have… Because I feel guilty for being helpless.
I could have done that, but I’m holding your hand, my son.
Oh my God! If people knew how hard it is for this world to give birth to new men, they wouldn’t start wars!
I am only a woman.
I am only a woman.
Five letters in a word, can it be simpler?
I am tender, I am loved, I am yours. I am the most loved in the world. In pain I give life.
With clenched teeth I let you go to war.
I stand at the window and look in disbelief
I am simply a woman. And this simplicity knows no end.

In ctp 5.2 “How We Listen to Disease and the City” we present the web-based project “Listening to the City as a Form of Writing” by sound artist ->Julián Galay, which he developed for ctp together with programmer ->Federico Isasti. It is an interactive page that asks visitors to the site to shoot a video of any city walk with their smartphone and upload the video footage. A little later, it will reappear on the website – and the sounds recorded in the video will be used for a reflection on the “sound of the city” through a text inserted in the video by Julián: ->listeningtothecity

 

Talk between Julián Galay and Christoph M. Gosepath about the development of ctp 5.2

 

Christoph: How did you get the impulse for the project „listening to the city“?

Julián: The first version of the work was commissioned by Satellit, a place that works as a satellite of Haus der Statistics with a critical approach to the city and architecture in general. The invitation came from Erik Goengrich and Peter Schmidt, who are developing a cycle of walks, always starting from the same point to the other, in which they invite different guests from multiple disciplines to develop a theme and talk about that.

They proposed to me to do a “soundwalk”, which at this point is almost a genre in itself, these are walks, which generally take place in … ->more

“There is no need to leave your home. Remain at your desk and listen. Don’t even listen, just wait and hold on. Don’t even wait, but be completely quiet and remain alone. The world will present itself to you to be unfolded, it has to – enchanted, it will squirm before you.”

In times of devastating political changes all over the world, of intensified injustice and ruthlessness as well as increased struggles for conditions and means of productions, club tipping point is looking for self-assessments: which are the nets in which we try to gasp the air we have to breathe, the air we want to articulate with … want to articulate? Articulate what? What do we have to see? Why? Why, do we think, we have to see this? Can we simply “say” this?
A little night about the confusion of two theater-makers in our times.
