2020 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Unica Zürn (1916 - 1970), an icon of surrealism. As a femmage, the artists created a sound-art work that makes Zürn's unique artistic cosmos tangible in a fictional biography. Despite all resistance and tragedy, Zürn has created her highly complex and consistent work. The artist's reduction to her biography, her existence as a muses and the stigma of mental illness are here taken ad absurdum and thus resolved. In this sound comic, the artist transforms herself into a superhero: the snake woman. The emergence and passing away of anagrams is transformed into an acoustic experience, words become letters, letters become rhythm, fairy-tale like things become essay-like in sound worlds between madrigal and techno - a trip into the heart of surrealism.
CHOIR OF VOICES: Isabel Baloun, Raumschiff Engelmayr, Kristin Gruber, Lisa Kortschak, Klemens Lendl, Manu Mayr, Rania Moslam, Doris Müller, David Müller, Stephan Richter, Bernd Satzinger, Christian Schlechter, Christoph Stadler, Patrick Wurzwallner.
