Final Match

Loud and wild, strong and intimidating, and equally gentle and sensitive - the Final Match installation unfolds in a game of contrasts. It illuminates the many facets of physicality, its backgrounds and emotions. This work is the result of a collaboration between the clarinettist and sound artist Paula Haeni and the visual artist and dancer Stephanie Hess. In Final Match, visitors are immersed in a forest of pulsating sounds. Hanging in the middle of this acoustic landscape are hearts the size of an average person. The installation combines organic, abstract and acoustic aspects of physicality.
