Piano insight (video - 2015)
This video is a result of an interactive performance project Piano insight. It aims to examine a dynamic relationship between audio and visual perception and comprises a series of collaborations with different musicians (here an improvisation of the German pianist Aki Hoffman).
Paired with visuals in film or theatre, music traditionally plays the secondary role usually following the development of the image. In case of opera, or contemporary video clips, the music leads the visuals.
The camera focuses on the third party – a musical instrument itself, to depict and reveal for the first time through visual imaging the obscured physical aspects of the performance for both the musician and his audience.
