Berlin-based visual artist, Robin Rhode, and Grammy Award-winning Norwegian pianist, Leif Ove Andsnes, will collaborate in an exhibition to intertwine art and music.
"Leif Ove will be performing the piano recital, while Rhode has made a series of films that are to be are projected on screens behind the piano in an attempt to recreate the experience of looking at paintings while listening to Mussorgsky’s epic piano suite." via Yatzer
Rhode's visual imagery coincides with Mussorgsky's themes of self-realization, loss and rememberence. This beautiful collaboration between visual and audio performance highlights the emotional interconnectedness within all forms of art.
In another piece with Rhode and Andsnes called Chalk Piano, Rhode mimics the rhythms of the piano keys. Chalk Piano explores "the possibility of the piano as an instrument that could compose a picture, in this case with chalk if your imagination allows it to."
