Neues Forum der Töne - Impulse Festival 2025

A dark room with several large, orange-coloured beanbags. A film is projected on the wall showing an image with warm colours. The light in the projection is dazzling, you can only roughly recognise a person leaning over a table. The room is panelled with sound-absorbing, dark panels, with a small figure or work of art hanging on the left and right of the wall on a white background. — © Anna Zett

A black and white drawing with two different patterns. On the left-hand side, wavy lines run vertically, reminiscent of flowing water or wood grain. The right-hand side shows cubic shapes reminiscent of a three-dimensional structure. The lines are simple and sketchy. — Anonyme Zeichnung, entstanden im Rahmen des künstlerischen Forschungsprojekts „Resonanz – Postsozialistische Gruppenimprovisation“, Anna Zett & Hermann Heisig, 2021

Neues Forum der Töne

Performative Installation and Assembly

Within a performative installation by the artist Anna Zett and a programme co-curated by Joshua Wicke dissident forms of relationship are envisaged afresh. How can a discursive space that is defined purely by language and remains politically polarised be extended through sensory perception and emotional awareness? Over three days, artistic, musical and social practices converge here to be inspired by GDR experiences of basic democracy, subcultures of self-organisation and methods of group analysis. In listening sessions, film screenings, conversations and improvisations, the fundamental democratic force subjected to sensory and dialogue examination is not voting but listening.
