Tagtool

When Ritsche asked me to join RZM as a guest for a gig in the Ukraine, among other things I was up for it because I saw a good opportunity to combine Tagtooling with traditional painting. We already had made some steps into that direction, but this was different. Whereas before we had treated the painting surface more like a canvas for both analogue and digital painting, the work of RZM is focused on the whole space, and the movement within it.

A video in four parts, in German, of a performance of “Bienenkino” by Tetete on May 29th 2009 at Stadtgarten Cologne. The audience was made up of kids from various schools. They were a little unsure what to make of it all to begin with – but by the end the guys had clearly won them over.

The Hilti Ensemble was invited to Slovakia to take part in the Use the City festival, an initiative leading up to Košice’s reign as European Capital of Culture in 2013. Here’s a video of their improvisational performance at Urbanova tower.

Two videos are from a performance of Weisse Waende & Wassergasse at the Kunstwerkstatt Tulln, Austria, on the 10th of October 2008. (Click post title to see both videos!)
