Prepare to be mesmerized by Hidden Resonance X Kraftwerk, a groundbreaking sound installation by Rabon Aibo. Utilizing industrial gas cylinders transformed into sound-generating machines, Aibo’s creation intertwines with the old pipe infrastructure inside the Kraftwerk building. The resulting sound serves as a haunting echo from the past, questioning the changing contexts of our post-industrial age.
Acclaimed musician Ain Bailey presents Trioesque, a captivating musical composition that pays homage to jazz trios. Transformed for the Kraftwerk space, Bailey’s adaptation features original sound recordings captured within the underbelly of Deutz Brucke in Cologne. Be prepared to embark on a sonic journey like no other.

Mire Lee, a visionary artist, will present a breathtaking hanging fabric installation. Using worn-out, torn, and ripped fabrics dipped in viscous liquid clay, Lee creates an otherworldly environment. Over time, the clay absorbed by the “skin” of the artwork will gradually thin down due to water, resulting in a misty viscerally. This installation prompts reflection on human fantasies of technology and the inevitable decay and deformity that time imposes on us.
Prepare to be astonished by the revolutionary video installation “The Third Reich” by legendary theatre and opera director Romeo Castallucci. Making its debut appearance in Germany, this thought-provoking installation will be preceded by a symbolic performance in which a performer ignites language. The accompanying sound, composed by Scott Gibbons, will be undeniably exceptional.
Marco Fusinato brings us DESASTRES, an adaptation of his highly acclaimed work from the Australian pavilion at last year’s Venice Biennale. Throughout the exhibition, this ephemeral creation will appear and disappear like an apparition, leaving an indelible impression on all who witness it.
Join Berlin Atonal 2023 – Universal Metabolism exhibition for an extraordinary exploration of art, music, and performance that transcends boundaries and embraces the transformative power of creativity.
