Agata Zubel — Bildbeschreibung

The eminent German playwright Heiner Müller gave an incredibly powerful reply to this question in his dramatic narrative Bildbeschreibung. He and she, trapped in a picture, enclosed in frozen time. It is only by analyzing this recorded moment that the author can dream up their possible stories, depict events that may have led them to this moment. All this supported by a sophisticated analysis of our reality and of timeless existential questions.

In sound this is inspired for me. I want to try.

The entire dramatic situation frozen in time, the frozen moment and its unreal status, begs to be complemented with music. He and she – two actor-singers – stuck in the picture, constantly comment on their present position or on the road that led them to it. The musicians are also part of the picture. 

The listeners gradually experience subsequent elements. This carefully designed journey through musically arranged space is like walking across a picture.
—Agata Zubel, 2018
