Marianne Halter and Mario Marchisella are interested in disturbing the familiar in a way which makes one question everyday perspectives. The landscape of the moor is invaded by the songs of birds who imitate mechanical and electronic sounds as a strategy to survive and adapt to their surroundings.

Artist Bio

Since 2008, artist Marianne Halter (born 1970) and musician Mario Marchisella (born 1972) have been collaborating on artistic projects that explore space and action, sound and image, and are typically presented as videos and site-specific installations. Starting with everyday actions and places, they make their temporality palpable. The specific context plays a crucial role, whether as a contrast to or break with the performance venue, where the work lands like a UFO; or through the landscape, its use and appearance, or the history (or histories) of the place becoming the subject of the work.
