For TUNE at Haus der Kunst, from 4.9. – 14.9.26, Florian Hecker (1975, Augsburg) presents “FAVN”, a thirteen-channel sound piece in the Westgalerie. “FAVN” unfolds as an automated performance, tracing the blurry boundaries between reality and imagination, sensory perception and hallucinated events. Evoking notions surrounding late-19th-century psychophysics and the quantification of the senses, “FAVN” follows Claude Debussy in sonically reincarnating the protagonist of Stéphane Mallarmé’s 1876 poem L’après-midi d’un faune.
