Parallel/Play x We Make Berlin: visual art & music in dialogue
Advertisement
Parallel/Play brings together visual artists and musicians for a creative dialogue in real time, where sound and image respond to each other as they happen.
For this special edition at Manifesto Market, in collaboration with We. Make. Berlin, we welcome Hyunjeong Park, a Berlin-based composer and performer of the gayageum, the traditional Korean zither. Her music moves between emotional, melodic pieces, groovy rhythmic compositions and electronic-inspired sounds, blending traditional techniques with modern harmonies. Her work is shaping a new genre: Korean Neo Classic.
While she plays, Parallel/Play makers Lavia and Riikka Korpela paint live, turning the music into images as it unfolds. Partway through, they swap canvases: each artist continues the other’s painting, so the works become a dialogue not only with the music but with each other. The painting is projected onto the screen on the Manifesto stage, so you can watch every brushstroke take shape.
Collective Recording
The audience is invited to join in. Every guest receives a small card to draw on in response to the music and painting. After each piece, the cards are passed on to the next person, who adds their own layer. By the end, each card holds marks from many hands, and you take one home: a collective recording of the music.
