With a performance by Jakob Kolb and an improvisation with bass clarinetist Charlotte Strauch
in Projectspacefestival Berlin 2026
Within the glass architecture of super bien! Berlin, Jakob Kolb stages remembering as a hermetic engine room. An installation of steel and glass containers, intertwined with organic matter, renders the mechanics of memory and storage visible. Connected via a custom-developed LED system, the sculptures function as a reactive memory-system, visually and acoustically absorbing their environment. During a Source-Performance (opening), Jakob feeds live songs, voice, and text fragments into the system. With bass clarinetist Charlotte Strauch, he unfolds a free improvisation that acoustically sets the space in motion. Afterward, the recorded audio circulates, transforming within the engine room. In the days following the opening, the audience is invited to compare their own memory of the performance with the installation's ongoing electronic memory.
