QUASAROffScreen Award Best New Media WorkImages Festival Toronto 2007live performance by Thomas Köner & Jürgen Reble
flash animation: J.Reble
Quasar immerses the audience in an incredible, dreamlike world which explores the borders of perception, the world between sleep and wakefulness.
Celebrated film artist Jürgen Reble's hand-processed and chemically decayed 16mm film unfolds a pulsating halfworld of abstract movements, his surround projectors illuminating a haze of fog until a microcosmos of circulating galaxies appears like an ephemeral vision of molecular particles. In perfect synchrony, widely acclaimed sound artist Thomas Köner's remarkable quadrophonic soundscape uses contact microphones to scan the sound of the projectors and the hazer, transforming it with live-electronic treatments and creating a process which unfolds a musical space. With a musical perspective which constantly shifts the sound coordinates of the performance, movements in the irridescent space of close and far-away timbres decay into a deep, circulating silence.
An arresting, mesmerizing experience, Quasar stands apart as a vision of significant depth and elegiac beauty.
