Bukarest | Bucuresti \u2013 fragmente | Greta Hoheisel & Norbert Lang<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Gruen 068 | CD (+Book) > [Sold Out<\/span>] MP3 > iTunes<\/a><\/p>\n Reviews<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bucharest – fragments is a journey through a metropolis in continuous flux. It is a hybrid of exhibition catalogue, book and compact disc; containing photos, texts and soundscapes – three obstinate elements that reciprocally comment on one another.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. Singing doll. Train<\/p>\n While the vast plain of Wallachia is passing by, the compartment door opens. A woman in a jeans jacket reaches into her sports bag, pulling forth a small singing plastic doll. Without a word she\u00a0 lays the toy on the artificial leather covering and moves on. As she reappears in the door a few minutes later the doll has fallen silent.<\/p>\n Two levels beneath the city centre an underground train comes to halt with squeaking brakes. The roar of the people jostling\u00a0 for the narrow moving stairs. In unison with the people rushing through, the turnstiles chatter at the exit.<\/p>\n A busker and the roar of an anonymous mass of people that alternately swells and ebbs away. As the train races into the tunnel the musician briefly pauses without taking the instrument off his lips.<\/p>\n Teens in a courtyard facing the street. They pass a drum from hand to hand in good cheer. One of the boys sings to the sound of the drumbeats, disregarded by the passers-by. The playing is briefly interrupted when a police patrol passes by.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. Booths and fairground rides. Funfair<\/p>\n MP3<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. Traffic policeman. Junction<\/p>\n Two crossing ordinates in the centre of the city. A man in uniform who brings the ceaseless flow of cars to a halt with his whistle.<\/p>\n Two loudspeakers positioned between the decorated entrance columns of a church; too small for the sonorous male voices that sing inside and that are only distortedly being brought outside. In front of the church, the traffic forces its way through the city. Pedestrians walk by in speedy pace. Some prick up their ears and pause for a moment in order to make the sign of the cross. Others only indicate the cross, for a fleeting second, with trained hands. Only a few that hasten on.<\/p>\n MP3<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8. Whisperers. Church<\/p>\n Hidden in the dark; two figures in front of a hymnbook. Subdued conversation, shy, delicate attempts to sing. „A bit more courage!“ admonishes a firm male voice.<\/p>\n Stop in front of a church. A woman gets on the tram. After hesitating for an instant, she goes down on her knees and begins to speak – her face slightly downcast. A brown cardboard dangles from her left arm, unveiling her sufferings in black felt-tip.<\/p>\n Suddenly, unexpectedly: a cluster of singing people in a side street. Hammering on a piece of firewood, ringing of bells. A man sways the incense burner. Slowly the singers enter the atrium of the church.<\/p>\n While the rattling tramway drives by a row of tower blocks, one of the passengers raises his voice. He makes his way through the rows beckoning – holding in his left hand a couple of purses wrapped in plastic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 13. Children on swings. Playground<\/p>\n Holiday feeling in the city. On a playground in an overcrowded park, the squeaking of unoiled playground articles, frantic cries of the children.<\/p>\n Pouring rain on asummer evening in the city centre. In the middle of a narrow junction a stagnant tram, blocked up by cars sounding the horn.<\/p>\n Goods piled up on wooden shelves, behind which Asian tradespeople are sitting on brown cardboard boxes.<\/p>\n Dogs are roaming through long passages, searching for something to eat in heaps of plastic waste.<\/p>\n On the stage located on an empty plaza; in the afternoon’s biting cold musicians prepare for their New Year’s Eve-performance. The sound of their music sets off the alarm systems of cars parked nearby.<\/p>\n MP3<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 18. Roma women collecting iron. Side street<\/p>\n At a little distance from the city center, behind a row of tower blocks, in the narrow streets of a rural district.\u00a0 Duet sung by two Roma women trailing handcarts filled with scrap iron.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 19. Roaring city, old song in the distance. Suburbia<\/p>\n A cool clear afternoon; a loudspeaker softly playing an old song.<\/p>\n MP3<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 20. Barking dogs. Suburbia<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 20 Tracks (47’19“)<\/p>\n CD (+Book) (500 copies)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The constant humming sound of the city, house walls that we pass by, the snatches of a conversation which we hear on the streets \u2013 fragments, that we are confronted with every day, but to which we nevertheless pay hardly any attention. It is not just the pompous and spectacular view on the city, that forms our relation to it, it is also the seemingly incidental and fragmentary occurence.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bucharest – fragments in a box \/ A wandering exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n Four wooden boxes, so called \u00bbpeep boxes\u00ab, provided with headphones and loupe-like lenses are the media for the pictures, the field- and the soundrecordings, that they captured during this time. Thus, they take up the idea of an old media from the 18th and 19th Century: Boxes, that were wandering from fun fair to fun fair, to show the curious viewers pictures of near and foreign countries or mythological scenes. And like the demonstrators in the past used to comment on what was being shown, \u00bbBucharest – fragments in a box\u00ab is provided with headphones, to listen to the every day soundscape of the city. Thus, sound and picture comment on each other and generate a sketchy Portrait of Bucharest, perceived with the ears and the eyes of two strangers. The date of the Opening in Atelier 35 will also be the release date for the publication \u00bbBucuresti | Bukarest – fragmente\u00ab, a hybrid between Foto-book and Soundscape-CD, and also a second media in which the pictures and sounds will be linked together. The concentration on the everyday sounds of Bucharest and the sensitisation for the auditory environment will also be the topic of the workshop \u00bbListen to: Bucharest\u00ab, that will be held in the course of the exhibition in Bucharest.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Collegium Hungaricum Berlin<\/a>, Germany, Berlin-Mitte | 08.05.\u201328.06.2009<\/p>\n 07.05.2009 Vernissage 19h<\/p>\n RKI Wien<\/a>, \u00d6sterreich | Austria 2009<\/p>\n Atelier 35<\/a>, Bukarest | Bucharest, Romania 04.-18.07.2008<\/p>\n Stellwerk<\/a>, Germany, Kassel | 03.-10.10.2008 | Vernissage 19h<\/p>\n MitOst Festival<\/a>, Ukraine, Uschhorod | 16.-19.10.2008<\/p>\n Kulturama Festival<\/a>, Germany, Hildesheim | 01.-02.11.2008<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Concept: Greta Hoheisel, Norbert Lang<\/p>\n Photos: Greta Hoheisel<\/p>\n Sound recordings: Norbert Lang<\/p>\n Texts: Greta Hoheisel, Norbert Lang<\/p>\n Translation: Sorin Georgescu, Thomas Steinberger<\/p>\n Correction: Anke Lohmeyer, Horst Hoheisel, Raluca Doroftei, Anda Dumitru, Katrin Hoedemacker<\/p>\n graphic design concept: Nico Massow<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thanks: Sorin Georgescu, Lisa Schwabe, Malte Roloff, Anda Dumitru, Raluca Doroftei, Roxana Stoenescu, Nico Massow, Trixi Szabo, Michael Alvarez, Julia Ucsnay, Lasse-Marc Riek, Roland Etzin, Alberta Lohmeyer, Anke Lohmeyer, Horst Hoheisel, Juliane Hoheisel, Deborah Hoheisel, Britta Hoheisel, Katharina Lang, Kerstin Lang, Johann Lang, Ilona Lahner<\/p>\n 12\u20ac | 96 pages | gruen 068 | 2008 | LC 09488 | GEMA | ISBN: 978-3-9812411-1-2<\/p>\n info@inbukarest.com<\/a> | www.inbukarest.com<\/a> | www.mitost.de<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Qwartz edition 6<\/strong><\/p>\n The Gruenrekorder release „Bukarest | Bucure?ti \u2013 fragmente<\/a>“ by Greta Hoheisel & Norbert Lang<\/a> is nominated in the Qwartz Artwork & Packaging category.<\/p>\n www.qwartz.org<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Frans de Waard | VITAL WEEKLY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n GRETA HOHEISEL & NORBERT LANG – BUKAREST FRAGMENTE (CD + Book by Gruenrekorder)<\/p>\n Its of course never easy to judge a release that deals with a city that one has never been too, in this the Romanian capital Bukarest. But the extensive and beautiful book (bound, bigger size than the average booklet) makes up for this omission. It contains photography of the places where the recordings were, with descriptive text in both German and Romanian. Many sounds of life on streets: cars passing, people trying to sell toys, the subway, street music (pan flutes of course), and sometimes the rumble mechanics. It makes all a fascinating trip while flipping through the book and looking at the pictures. Captivating stuff. Nothing is ‚processed‘ here, nor does it tell a ’story‘, it merely takes things as they are. Certainly a major project for Gruenrekorder, and one of their best releases to date. (FdW)<\/p>\n link<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jez riley French | \u2018in-place\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Nicely presented project for a start ! – so, let me get the cynical comment out of the way first: I’m really interested in photography & indeed the ’snapshot‘ style of some field recording & so in terms of the images it’s fair to say that Greta’s style is one that i’m familiar with – it’s one that most creative photographers explore at some point – the focus on detail and the transformation of the everyday object or scene into a framed and revitalised image. Having said that it’s not something everyone can pull off & in terms of this project at least the images do work & do convey a creatively pleasing impression.<\/p>\n When it comes to the recordings it’s fair to say that they do fall into the ’snapshot‘ catagory & as they are well recorded then they do the job so to speak. I always hope to hear individual when I listen to recordings, something that reflects the interests of the recordist & with this approach that is both difficult to achieve & also not exactly the point. However I really believe that, like with the ‚eye‘ of an interesting photographer, it is the ‚ear‘ of the recordist that hopefully will come through. I think these recordings show something of that & certainly the collaboration between Norbert & Greta indicates a shared artistic searching.<\/p>\n I suppose if I had to say anything negative about the recordings it’s that I personally crave for simplicity in snapshot recordings. I get a bit tired of discs that try to capture various odd or ‚evocative‘ sounds – I feel that it can sometimes edge over into cliche. However, this is a personal viewpoint & no doubt has something to do with the sheer amount of recordings I listen to. I reckon most folks would find the recordings interesting & a fair portrait of certain elements Bucharest. There are plenty of the usual street scenes, snatches of music & prayer of course, giving a definate experience of the ‚fragments of Bucharest‘ project aim but also recordings of music students rehearsing at the university (track 12) which I for one would have liked to have been much longer.<\/p>\n Reading back my comments so far I realise that it sounds like i’m giving this release a negative review. which is not my intention. It’s another quality release from Gruenrekorder & is well worth the price. It certainly made me want to hear more of Norbert’s recordings & to hunt for more images from Greta.<\/p>\n ‚Bucharest – fragments is a journey through a metropolis in continuous flux. It is a hybrid of exhibition catalogue, book and compact disc; containing photos, texts and soundscapes – three obstinate elements that reciprocally comment on one another.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The constant humming sound of the city, house walls that we pass by, the snatches of a conversation which we hear on the streets \u2013 fragments, that we are confronted with every day, but to which we nevertheless pay hardly any attention. It is not just the pompous and spectacular view on the city, that forms our relation to it, it is also the seemingly incidental and fragmentary occurence.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To seek for those fragments, the german photographer Greta Hoheisel and the sound-artist Norbert Lang stayed in the capital of the new EU country Romania, in Bucharest for almost one year. What they found was a complex urban realm between consumerism and tradition, between turbo-capitalism and religion. The outcome of their continuous striving through the sound- and cityscapes of Bucharest is a multimedia exhibition called \u00bbBucharest \u2013 fragments in a box\u00ab and also \u00bbBukarest Bucure?ti \u2013 fragmente\u00ab, a hybrid between foto-catalogue, sketchbook and audio-CD.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The basis for the book-CD are 20 fieldrecordings that tell about the life in the city: About sudden horn concerts during rush-hour as well as about the rural idyl in the backyards of the city. Each of the 20 chapters in the book is dedicated to one fieldrecording on the CD, consisting of a sketchy text and photographs, showing deserted places around the city. The combination of those three elements generates a city mosaic full of gaps, that needs the pre-text of the observer and listener to be put together. Thus \u00bbBukarest Bucure?ti \u2013 fragmente\u00ab can be understood as a universal work about urban sound- and cityscapes in the 21st century.‘<\/p>\n link<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n www.zeit.de<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Bukarests Geheimnisse<\/p>\n Ein multimedialer Streifzug durch die rum\u00e4nische Hauptstadt: Bilder, Kurzprosa und Audios aus der hervorragenden Ausstellung „Bukarest – Fragmente“. Eine Bildergalerie<\/p>\n Von Mitte der sechziger bis Ende der achtziger Jahre war Bukarest die Prunkstadt von Ceau?escus scheu\u00dflichem Stalinismus \u2013 eine Zeit, „in der die Luft nicht mehr zu atmen“ war, wie der Schriftsteller Mircea C?rt?rescu schrieb. Dann fiel das Regime, dann fielen die Blocks, Rum\u00e4nien \u00f6ffnete sich nach Westen und blieb doch vielen verschlossen.<\/p>\n Die K\u00fcnstler Greta Hoheisel und Norbert Lang zeigen nun in einem eigensinnigen, hervorragenden Bildband die rum\u00e4nische Hauptstadt. Bukarest \/ Bucure?ti \u2013 Fragmente ist eine Mischung aus Reisefotografien, Prosaminiaturen und Klangbeispielen, die auf einer CD beiliegen. Sie zeigen Stra\u00dfenecken, Hinterh\u00f6fe, U-Bahnsch\u00e4chte, verlassene Orte. Sehen und h\u00f6ren Sie eine Auswahl ihrer Arbeiten in dieser Galerie.<\/p>\n link<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tobias Bolt | quietnoise<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n F\u00fcr ein Jahr begaben sich die Fotografin Greta Hoheisel und der Klangk\u00fcnstler Norbert Lang nach Bukarest und hielten ihre Eindr\u00fccke von Rum\u00e4niens Hauptstadt in Bild und Ton fest. Die Ergebnisse dieser Stadtbeobachtungen werden nun einerseits in der aktuell laufenden Wanderausstellung Bucharest – fragments in a box vorgestellt wie auch mittels vorliegender Ver\u00f6ffentlichung, Buch plus CD, auf Gruenrekorder dokumentiert. In dieser verbinden sich, vielleicht als eine Art erweiterter Ausstellungskatalog zu verstehen, ausgew\u00e4hlte Fotografien und Field Recordings mit pr\u00e4zise kommentierender Kurzprosa zu einem vielschichtigen, freilich bewusst l\u00fcckenhaft gehaltenen, Portrait einer Stadt im Wandel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zu diesem Zweck sind, bis auf wenige Ausnahmen, jedem der zwanzig Tracks ein oder mehrere Bilder zugeordnet, die das Geh\u00f6rte aber weniger illustrieren, sondern lieber um weitere Blickwinkel vertiefen. Ganz allgemein agieren die Fotografien als B\u00fchnen, indem sie R\u00e4ume bereitstellen, M\u00f6glichkeiten schaffen. Oft wirken sie dabei auf den ersten Blick unscheinbar, r\u00fccken allt\u00e4gliche Details in den Mittelpunkt: Werbeplakate, ein Ringelspiel, Graffiti; d\u00fcster patinierte U-Bahn Stationen und Kircheninnenr\u00e4ume sind zu sehen, grauer Vorstadtbeton, ein Jahrmarkt. Allen Bildern gemeinsam ist die vollst\u00e4ndige Abwesenheit von Menschen. Die Tondokumente wiederum sind stets lebendig, fast immer h\u00f6rt man Musik, verweilt an den Rhythmen der Stadt: ratternde Drehkreuze, Stra\u00dfenmusiker in der U-Bahn, \u00fcbersteuernde Kirchenlautsprecher, Hupkonzerte, betende Frauen, Musiksch\u00fcler beim \u00dcben.<\/p>\n link<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n DIE TAGESZEITUNG<\/a> (TAZ) | <\/strong>29.\/30.

Aber h\u00f6rt man sie, w\u00e4hrend man durch die Bildstrecken bl\u00e4ttert und sich da und dort in einer der nebenstehenden Notizen festliest, f\u00e4llt es leicht, sich in Bukarest zu imaginieren, sei\u2019s im Zentrum der Stadt in mitten des ausufernden Hupkonzerts w\u00e4hrend der Rushhour, sei\u2019s in der Vorstadt, deren Ruhe nur das Gebell der Hunde st\u00f6rt.<\/p>\n Ein Jahr lang haben die Fotografin Greta Hoheisel und der Klangk\u00fcnstler Norbert Lang, jeder auf seine Weise, mit dem Fotoapparat und dem Tonband,das Leben in der Hauptstadt des neuen EU-Mitgliedslandes Rum\u00e4nien dokumentiert. 20 raffinierte Klangaufnahmen f\u00fcgen sich im Buch zu 20 Kapiteln, in denen je eine kleine literarische Skizze die melancholischen Farbfotografien einer menschenleeren Stadt begleitet.<\/p>\n Dass man diese elegischen Ansichten von Osteuropa, die man schon zur Gen\u00fcge zukennenglaubt, trotzdem gut leiden mag, liegt daran, dass Hoheisels Bilder nicht von Stilwillen handeln. Sie reflektieren die strukturelle mediale Situation der Fotografie, die die Menschen in den Bildern und ihre Gewese sonst leicht vergessen machen: Wie im Foto das Leben grunds\u00e4tzlich stumm- und still gestellt ist.<\/p>\n link<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stephen Fruitman | sonomu.net<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n A three-pronged guided tour – music, text, image – of Bucharest, a „metropolis in constant flux“, according to the introduction. Bucharest has indeed historically been one of the important capitals of central Europe, but long fell under the shadow of the dictator Ceaucescu, who vampirian effect on the people, culture, and even architecture remains felt today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The photographs by Greta Hoheisel are superbly lit and framed, and all take as their subject abandoned places of activity – playgrounds, subway stations, railroad cars, staircases, bridges, soccer fields, fairground midways, blocks of apartment buildings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If by chance you think you just saw someone, it turns out to be a model on a billboard or a clutch of tailor\u00b4s dummies in wedding gowns. And aside from some murky shots from inside a church, everything is more than a little run-down, scuffed up, cracked, overgrown, rusty.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the u-bahn trundles into the heart of the city and the turnstiles thunk one body after another through, Norbert Lang guides us aurally through a major population centre both old and decrepit, historical and grappling to recover from most of that history.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lang\u00b4s audio documentation of the city seems to revolve around a trinity of themes – movement, prayer and song. So whereas the photography is devoid of human presence, the audiography consists of nothing but, birdsong notwithstanding.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Crowds jostle, a street musician plays the execrable pan flute (made internationally execrable by native son Zamfir), teenagers try to agree on a beat to play on their handdrums, church prayers spew distortedly out of shoddy speakers, vocal excercises out of open windows. Peddlars hawking their wares sound just as devotional as churchsong, a symphony of honking horns spontaneously amasses, kids play on a rusty swingset, ladies are caught in conversation, and a Latin band rehearses „Guantanemera“ while being assailed by a car alarm and barking dogs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These are snapshots, not an interwoven tapestry. Each moment is distinct and unadulturated. The visual and audio images compelement one another so perfectly, there is almost no need for the textual commentary by Hoheiseland Lang running in German and Romanian through the book.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A beautiful object for viewing, hearing and even touching.<\/p>\n link<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n

\nDie beiden K\u00fcnstler finden spannende, eigensinnige Zug\u00e4nge und schaffen, ohne sich krampfhaft unkonventionell zu gerieren, ein fragmentarisches, aber auch im besten Sinne lebendiges Portrait einer fluktuierenden Stadt. Auf diese Weise entstehen, in einer sehr speziellen Grundstimmung, offene Szenarios, die sich durch wechselnde Kombinationen von Bild, Ton und Text immer wieder neu gestalten und vom Rezipienten, zu einer konkreten Begebenheit erweitert, quasi mit erfunden werden k\u00f6nnen. Das macht das Ganze zu einer wirklich spannenden Angelegenheit, rundum empfehlenswert \u2013 eine der sch\u00f6nsten Ver\u00f6ffentlichungen auf Gruenrekorder in diesem Jahr.<\/p>\n
