Museumsnacht Köln „Interference“

KHG Church Hl. Johannes XXIII.

Sculptural architecture. Geometric shapes, clear lines, simplicity. The upheaval of the time at the end of the 1960s was physically realised in the church building. Starting from the tree of life in the centre of the interior, the architecture unfolds and creates a unique atmosphere and tranquillity. A church as a walk-in sculpture that is not only used by the student chaplaincies as a liturgical space, but is also open as a place for dialogue, encounters and the art of young talents.

„Interference“

An immersive light installation. In challenging times, the exhibition poses key questions about the strength of society and the role of the individual. How are we connected as a society? What values and forces hold us together in a fragmented world? Through the use of media, light and sound, intuitive connections are activated that make the relevance of cohesion tangible. Visitors can actively control the light and sound and thus interact directly with the artwork. The interactive installation is a joint project by Studio.absTime and Ruben Tsangaris.

Shooting "Street of lost hearts"

Film content:

In the near future, Coby (32), the introverted CEO of a large tech company, visits the Emo(tion) Line. In his huge laboratory hideaway, where he grows extinct plants, he spends the night with Ezra (58), a climate refugee who offers her emotional services as a mother for money on the Emo line.

‘Street of Lost Hearts’ is the postgraduate diploma film by Alexander Nowak at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM). The film sheds light on the feelings and needs of people living in a world in decline. What can Ezra and Coby, whose realities of life could not be more different, give each other to fill their inner emptiness and hopelessness with something that still gives their lives meaning? 

Shooting took place from 19 to 20 October 2023 in our church of St. John XXIII.

roh.still

"roh.still" combines the reception of architecture with questions about the institution of the church: the "performative audio walk" sends the audience on the trail of brutalist architecture with radio headphones and questions the current significance of the church in the city and society. The "stage" for this is provided by the Church of St. John XXIII: radio play, feature programme and sound installation meet performance.

schubert- stegemann are theatre makers, authors and performers. In "roh.still" they take up the similarity between theatre and church: Spaces with repetitive appointments, hierarchised procedures, codes of conduct and dramaturgies: What scenic possibilities arise from the co-presence of (brutalist) architecture and human beings? Can churches be spaces of experience beyond faith? What cultural significance is left behind when fewer and fewer people use churches as religious sites? What would be the urban sociological impact of a change of use of the buildings, what could it look like?
"roh.still" sees itself as a test of such a repurposing and wants to question practices of community building with the audience.

Direction/text/performance: schubert-stegemann
Speaker: Nicola Schubert, Karoline Stegemann, NN, NN
Costume: Theresa Mielich 
Music: Chiara Strickland 
Sound production: Felix Breuel 
Production Assistance: Laura Sallfellner
