Before the Wind
In the organizer's words:
Before the Wind opens up the Diözesanmuseum for a fascinating dialog between experimental, contemporary art and selected objects from the collection. With their video and sound installations on the theme of 'wind', the artist duo Claudia Brieske (Berlin) and Franziska Baumann (Bern) create a multi-layered staging across all levels of the building.
For the exhibition, the artists have created three archetypal figures in the seemingly unreal landscape of the Cape Verdean island of Boa Vista. There is the wind figure of the red stone desert - speed guardian and guardian of time. Time begins with her and with it the blowing of the wind. The second figure is the wind figure of the blue-grey stone desert. It strives to overwrite the landscape, to shape it, to leave a trail of life or blood. Thirdly, there is the figure of the light-colored sandy desert as a carrier of memory, as a sound memory and echo at the same time.
"We let a universal, but also feminine spirit waft through the rooms. Our themes are already contained in the old figures."
(Franziska Baumann, singer, composer and sound artist)
In the Diözesanmuseum, the invisible yet powerful element of wind is thematized as a spiritual phenomenon. The artists' wind figures enter into a dialog with centuries-old objects, sculptures, paintings and bronze utensils, revealing their spiritual core. Outstanding pieces from the museum's collection, such as the medieval Madonna of Bishop Imad (†1076) or depictions of the apocalyptic woman on the crescent moon, can be experienced in completely new contexts through their connection with the wind figures.
Concert in September
The conclusion and highlight of the wind project is a large audiovisual production on September 20 at 16:30 and 19:30 and on September 21, 2025 at 19:00. The concert experience with live video, voice, live electronics and choir is specially designed for the architecture of the Diözesanmuseum. The girls' choir from Paderborn Cathedral will be taking part, with singer and sound artist Franziska Baumann composing vocal material for them, which will be developed together with the choir's director, Patrick Cellnik.
