Chromatic Wednesdays is a monthly interdisciplinary event series based in Berlin, organized by visual artist and filmmaker Emre Birişmen and sound artist Melih Sarıgöl. The series brings together various artistic practices, including performance, sound, moving image, and panel discussions, in thematically structured programs at different venues across the city. 

Chromatic Wednesdays, which previously centered around the Apartment Project space in Neukölln, will transition to a mobile and decentralized structure for its upcoming fourth and fifth seasons. This shift aims to encourage stronger collaborations, emphasize site-specific thinking, and build new connections that reflect the social and cultural fabric of Berlin.

Season 2
Episode 2

Theme:
Improvisation

16 March ´22


LIQUID MACHINE
Audiovisual Installation by
Max Michel Thillaye
Performance by Marta Antinucci and Mehmet Güren
The second Chromatic Wednesdays event on improvisation considered the interrelation of visual and performative arts with music in the infinity of possibilities, expressed through improvisation. In «Four human faces, each stuck in a video frame, slave to the rhythm» Max Michel Thillaye confronts clay statues with sound impulses. The sculpture-like busts react differently. As they are actually human beings they animate the figures with movement and facial expressions. In the audiovisual art project, sound unfolds movement out of stillness, unraveling a wide range of emotional transformations, even as all faces receive the same sound. Far from a deliberate choice, the work shows how human movements and reactions are as unpredictable as improvisations.

Having always harbored an avid interest in audio-visual work, Max Michel Thillaye, a French filmmaker based in Berlin, perceives film as a tool to transmit the human experience into a visual narrative. Thillaye’s work centers around the action of dissecting moments by rupturing indoctrinated routines, striving to show the constructs that make up our existence in society. The works often deal with the act of adaptation, but also explore the process of ripping free from such structures. Therefore, chance and improvisation are crucial elements of his approach, as much as the interaction between the environment and the actors.

The second part of this episode presented the site-specific performance «Liquid Machine» by Marta Antinucci and Mehmet Güren. It combines the idea of liquidity through a sensory imagination with the interaction between the rhythmic sound produced by Mehmet Güren and the movement through the expansive installation by Marta Antinucci. The improvised interplay transforms the installation space, which is related to the water world. This allows the artists to animate Zygmunt Bauman’s «Liquid Modernity», which describes the increasing sense of uncertainty, but also the nomadism that allows people to flow through life, as Antinucci will do through the space.
Marta Antinucci is an Italian multidisciplinary artist, performer, and choreographer currently based in Berlin. She considers movement as a vocabulary that she expands to multi-disciplinary languages starting from the body together with the interventions of voice, plastic, hair, cables, paint, fabrics, tiles, concrete. Formerly based on techniques of contemporary dance, Urban dance, release, modern dance, ballet, and acting, her practice currently aims to break these forms. She therefore explores new dynamisms triggered by realistic references together with visual and sensorial interventions and empowered by the use of repetition. For «Liquid Machine» she collaborates with Mehmet Güren, a sound artist, composer and producer from Istanbul currently based in Berlin. His work focuses on exploring data-driven textures, creating rhythmic mutations, and balancing seemingly incompatible influences by combining modular synthesis techniques with samples from field recordings.Marta Antinucci is an Italian multidisciplinary artist, performer, and choreographer currently based in Berlin.
