Alicja Kwade // Clout-Count
Clout-Count is the central piece of Alicja Kwade’s exhibition “In Absence” at the Berlinische Galerie. Presented on a giant loudspeaker ring that almost reaches the ceiling of the museum, the artist's heartbeat is transmitted into the exhibition space in a series of alternating spatial figures. THE SOUND OF THE MOUNTAIN was responsible for the technical planning, programming, and implementation on-site. MNTN was used for the production of the piece and its playback at the Berlinische Galerie.
Clout-Count creates the impression of a heartbeat now present in the middle of the speaker setup, now moving away from the visitor. Modulating its tempo, the heartbeat speeds up, multiplies, or almost disappears behind the museum's walls into the distance.
