OPERA SCULTURA

In collaboration with Doctors On Decks, Austrian sculptor and visual artist Manfred Erjautz has premiered his “Opera scultura”- The Closer I Get, The More I Drift Afar. The music for “Opera scultura” has been composed by Severin Su and Martin Lesjak with Aubert Crovato and recorded in 13&9’s Sound Design studio. Erjautz envisions – The Closer I Get, The More I Drift Afar. – as a river divided into four acts, flooding the space and meandering in a musical and visual-sculptural sequence. Performative side arms open up an artificial meadowscape of meta-levels that behave like communicating vessels. Transformation, as a primary stylistic device, turns the dot at the end of a sentence into the beginning of a drawing.

This work is a fusion of sculptural exhibition and opera, blending classical and modern electronic music, created in collaboration between classical composers and the electronic producers from Doctors On Decks to explore new territories in music, theater, and art. “Opera scultura” – The Closer | Get, The More I Drift Afar. – makes inner landscapes comprehensible and poses fundamental questions about human finiteness that exist within each of us, beyond the real present.
