THE
RED CIRCLE - RAILWAY ROUNDHOUSE. BERLIN. 5 - 6 JUNE 2009
The space was like a dream and all working process like being
in a dream. The stage for an opera. Unreal. High. Around. Black
and white on colour photographs rendered by dust and abandonment.
Big silent space with only sounds of passing by trains and flying
over airplanes.
The Circle was suspended in the middle of the Roundhouse with
12 tuned up nylon strings attached to the top gallery supported
by 24 columns.
Enclosed into the circle for 24 hours, into the red bath of
paint and shouting into the dome high above. Light was moving
and painting was moving with it. Night was dark and cold and
for the first time painting was build in the dark as after many
hours inside the circle it wasn't important to see but to move
and to wait for the sun to rise and after move again in a day
light.
From the inside the circle only the dome high above could be
seen with crosses of steel structure and graffiti on the broken
glass of the sky light. Trains and plains and silence at night
and birds in the morning and trains and plains again and red
enclosure growing around perhaps affected by changes of sounds
and its rhythms.
Red started as a revolt against the dust and abandonment, but
later the process fixed on graffiti, steel structure and sunlight
movement.
Collaboration:
- My Dress as a painting tool, Working Tools, Video and Photographs
by Tsz Man Chan. The Dress was white in the beginning and during
the process of painting started to transform from a strait-jacket
into shamans dress
- Music by James Hesford |

| MUSIC
BY JAMES HESFORD : THE CIRCLE - RAILWAY ROUNDHOUSE.
BERLIN 2009 |
|
|

|
|
| |
| The
Berlin Composition was based on photographs and films of the
event which took place in June (09) in an abandoned railway
roundhouse in East Berlin. The Painting is RED. Three elements
which came to James synchronistically contributed to the composition
(again using 12 musicians - cellos - arranged in a 50 meter
diameter circle but this time with solo cello in the centre).
1. Photographs of the costume Ivanov wore to paint the circle.
It was covered in red paint and looked like a blood stained
cross 2. images of the building -brutal and industrial - railway
tracks, huge iron doors, rotting wooded structure. 3. the cross
of Jesus on the cover of CD of Bach's St John's Passion. |
