Work information
Reto Stadelmann created a 20-minute composition that relates to an exhibition by Eva Stammen-Grecianu and engages in a musical dialogue with the artwork. In seven movements, Reto Stadelmann captures themes and moods from the paintings and translates them into the art of sound. By combining additive and contrasting elements, visual art and music come together to create an extraordinary and unique experience.
