The installation "Build from Here (Video Room)" (2024) creates a dialogue between video images and music, and illustrates Wolfgang Tillman's interest in the relationship between sound and movement. The video combines tracks from the album "Build From Here" (released April, 2024) with footage shot in Fire Island, Tokyo, Berlin, New York and Stuttgart.

The work focuses on ideas of fluidity, connectivity, movement and the permeable nature of human relationships. Material existence and transience are placed in a tense dynamic. The presence of the body in space is juxtaposed with the immensity of the cosmos. Related feelings are expressed in the song lyrics. The film attaches utmost importance to the intricacies of our existence, its material and political realities as well as its immaterial and unfathomable mysteries.


Curated by Elisabeth Giers and Matthias Mühling
