AWAITED by DAVID REUMÜLLER

 

After a long year of enduring without a stage, musician and visual artist David Reumüller’s ghost band is finally playing the new song: a different kind of shadow theater. To immerse yourself and wait. A concert installation in Space04 of the Kunsthaus Graz on the occasion of KLANGLICHT 2021.

“In waiting, time can become endless.” What is endless is long, is eternal. And therefore barely comprehensible for us humans, let alone experienceable. A dream, really. And scary, probably also because we are thrown back on ourselves so much.

For KLANGLICHT 2021, Reumüller is creating an installation at Kunsthaus Graz that merges real and virtual spatial dimensions and makes waiting itself a theme with music that swells and subsides.

Etymologically speaking, to wait means to focus on something. Today, we don’t like to wait and yet waiting is a productive part of our being – according to brain researchers and writers alike. Homer is said to have made waiting his purpose in life … in Space04, people now like to wait. And immerse yourself in waiting.

Born in 1979 in the Murtal valley, David Reumüller moved to Graz at an early age, where he studied visual art at the Ortweinschule. Since graduating in 1998, the artist has been working with various media. In addition to his visual productions, he has also published numerous musical anthologies, publications and films. In his interactive video installations, Reumüller primarily examines perception and puts its individual information content to the test.
