Presented jointly with CTM Festival, Dinos Chapman, one half of the enfants terribles of British contemporary art, The Chapman Brothers, will perform the German premiere of his audiovisual live show based on his acclaimed 2013 release, Luftbobler. With insomnia cited as a source of its creation, the album is the result of a decade of sonic experimentation that was literally made in the afterglow. This startlingly dynamic and unpretentious work blends influences from electronic music luminaries such as Aphex Twin and Stockhausen with Chapman’s quirky dark humour. For instance, the creepy atmosphere in tracks such as “Pizza Man” is rendered slightly tongue-in-cheek as Chapman pulls its slowed-down voice from an internet porn site for the blind. This playful approach is taken to a new level in Chapman’s live show where short films by the artist are projected on a triple-screen, marrying sound and visuals in an eerie, immersive, and unforgettable experience.
