Dave Nuss, “Wood on Wood”
29 September 2006, Berlin
Initiated by Dornbracht,
curated by NEO NOTO Mike Meiré
A drummer at the centre of the sportshall in the former Postfuhramt building , Berlin Mitte, closely encircled by tracks to transport the slowly and relentlessly moving camera, capturing his every movement, his every emotion. The audience positions itself a safe distance from the increasingly loud, ecstatic acoustic attacks. The ground is vibrating. The pressure waves transform the room into a single force field. Dave Nuss continues until the point of complete physical exhaustion.
