hell on fire – it was
…the film material comes from an “accidentally got in and never got out” classic car meeting somewhere in New Zealand, and has now become the music clip for Hell on Fire.
Resident Artist Christoph Rothmeier
Wednesday, August 9, 5 to 8 pm
Every three weeks a new resident artist appears and musically, artistically and performatively inhabits an area of the interior and exterior space.

For the opening he will perform a light and sound set outside as ‘The Lamp’. Recordings played live blur with excerpts of his own productions (aka chrchr) somewhere between performed music and soundtrack to a radio play / audio experiment. «got a bulb?»
His installation in the exhibition Club will be on display from August 9 to August 27.

subs T tube
4 channel audio installation, sound system for mechanical sound transmission on pipes and tin cans, postcard, cleaning smock, 16 min
CLUB, Kunstbrücke am Wildenbruch Berlin, 2023
Subs T Tube, stages a fictitious music practice as it could take place in the near future. To reach his audience beyond established channels, DJ Plumper uses the sound transmission properties of pipes leading into public toilets to make his music audible there. In this way, he also avoids censorship and copyright lawsuits from an AI that already owns the rights to all sounds and all music in the year 2053. He announces his DJ sets on empty loo rolls, placed on site.
(Music and lyrics: Christoph Rothmeier, voices: Filomeno Fusco + Christoph Rothmeier )

have you seen my eyes
Gdzie są o-czy me ?
8 canal audio installation, 40 min,
Maiseh, 31. Jewish Culture Festival Krakow (Pl) 2022
In the front garden of St Catherine’s Church in Krakow, 8 loudspeakers hang freely from the trees, moving slightly with the wind. You can hear a choir singing in Polish and Ukrainian. Each loudspeaker is assigned a single voice of the choir. The visitor virtually wanders through the choir and between the singers.
In the “Book of Polish Jews”, Shmuel Yosef Agnon writes that after the death of his legendary lover, Esterka, King Casimir the Great kept her eyes and let her spirit wander restlessly around the earth.
“have you seen my eyes” describes Esterka searching for her eyes. She speaks directly to the listener “have you seen my eyes ?” and tells him in 6 scenarios how it feels to be a restless spirit, and what she actually sees, robbed of her eyes.
Over the duration of the piece and the course of the story, 3 elementary forms of composition alternate again and again:
- vocal part, a motif that takes up the motet (polyphonic vocal music from the 13th century onwards). 2. the interaction of the singers with the reverberation in the recording room (Wysoka Synagogue in Krakow). And 3. the reading of the 6 scenarios.

Christoph Rothmeier – Have You Seen My Eyes
sound installation in collaboration with: Ruzyndla Choir: Wiktoria Sędzimir, Weronika Sędzimir, Małgorzata Międlarz, Przemysław Ćwik, Dawid Rozmus, Rita Rain, Oleksandr Mazii and Kateryna Sakhanda, as well as Adam Gajda, Pola Pawlikowska, Jörg Hochapfel, Philipp Haffner, Jakub Kubieniec The ghost of a woman searches for what she has lost. Have you seen my eyes?, her voice asks. Her body is in a different place than what she sees. She wanders the streets, looking for what was taken from her. legend: In “The Book of the Polish Jews”, Shmuel Yosef Agnon writes that after Esterka, the legendary lover of King Casimir the Great, passed away, he preserved her eyes – leaving her ghost restlessly wandering the Earth.
When it is hard to find the words, we tell stories. In “Maiseh”, which is the Yiddish word for tale (מייסע), seven legends were told in the public space. These stories are vehicles to grapple with loss, misfortune, betrayal and broken hearts. They arm us with humor, hope, courage and love. They bring us together. Traditionally passed on orally, legends were told over a meal or next to the campfire in almost all known human societies. The act of passing on stories shapes communities, which in turn come up with more tales to tell. Whether it is about a restless phantom roaming the streets, a hidden treasure or the guardian of an ancient synagogue – a “maiseh” usually contains few characters, simple dialogues, and nothing more than a superficial reference to an actual person, geographical location or historical event. These stories are simple and imaginative, sometimes fragmented, confusing or obscure.
During the 31. Jewish Culture Festival artists from Israel, Germany and Poland told their version of legends from Krakow in the medium of their choosing. Tales and legends transform as they are shared, slightly altered by the storyteller each time they are told. It is in the nature of the story to be adapted. Shaped as performances, drawings, murals, sound installations, workshops, and letters, the stories of “Maiseh” unfold in the streets of Kazimierz.
MAISEH WAS CREATED ESPECIALLY FOR THE 31ST JEWISH CULTURE FESTIVAL IN KRAKOW
