The Icelandic artist and musician Egill S\u00e6bj\u00f6rnsson combines elements of installation and performance, video and live music in his works. In complex, poetically narrative spatial installations, he actively becomes part of the situation, often together with other artists. Animation, video projection, live music, sound, drawings and the use of everyday objects coalesce in multilayered stories, with S\u00e6bj\u00f6rnsson showing an affinity for the absurd as he interweaves the various levels of reality. Using projection, he brings to life objects such as stones, glass bottles, small wooden blocks, handbags and plastic buckets, which become actors in his tableaus: \u00bbI have been interested in seeing things as \u2018beings\u2019 for a long time\u00ab, he notes.<\/p>\n Music and sound are an integral component of Egill S\u00e6bj\u00f6rnsson\u2019s work. In his installations and performances he playfully questions the relationship between notation, instrument, musician and sound. So the spatial installations can function as visual notations and silent objects can mutate by means of animation and playback into instruments. The musicians become elements of a moving image and it is not always possible for the audience to distinguish whether they are hearing recorded sound or sounds being generated live at the moment.<\/p>\n In „What Got You Here, Won\u2019t Get You There“ the artist, in collaboration with the Brazilian actor and director Marcia Moraes, focuses on this aspect of his work, exploring it in an multidimensional performance | installation. In a three-part theatrical space, pseudo-instruments, musicians and various props and objects come onstage and are integrated into a visual and acoustic dramaturgy. Scenes and sounds unfold according to principles of metamorphosis and synchronicity in the three projection spaces, developing an idiosyncratic merry magic.<\/p>\n The performance | installation is being created for the Works of Music by Visual Artists<\/em> series, which Freunde Guter Musik Berlin e.V. has produced in collaboration with the Nationalgalerie Berlin since 1999 and, since 2002, with MaerzMusik \u2013 Festival of Contemporary Music of the Berliner Festspiele.<\/p>\n Curators: Commissioned and produced by Freunde Guter Musik Berlin e.V.\u00a0in collaboration with MaerzMusik | Berliner Festspiele\u00a0and Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum f\u00fcr Gegenwart \u2013 Berlin.\u00a0Funded by Initiative Neue Musik Berlin e.V.
