When there is more in the shadows than in the light

There are places where darkness is not threatening, but honest. Permanently Shadowed opens up such a space — a space for all those who know that melancholy is not a defect, but a depth in which one can breathe. This night is a celebration of shadows, a defiant rebellion against everything smooth and shiny. The invited artists move between sound art, drone and harsh noise, but at their core they work with something fragile: the feeling that arises when you stare into the darkness for too long and suddenly realize that it is staring back. Their sounds are like wounded landscapes, sometimes roaring, sometimes whispering, but always radically honest. Frequencies that rip. Pauses that burn. Sounds that crackle, simmer, mill, turning the inside out. In the midst of this eruptive soundscape, the works of Hamburg artist Leon Winkel stand like an unexpected, almost vulnerable counterpoint — images like shimmering scars, like surfaces that conceal something. An evening that scratches, glows and pulsates — melancholic, lonely, beautiful in its own way.

This event is supported by the Verband für aktuelle Musik Hamburg e.V.
