About this title

Synopsis

Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller achieved worldwide fame with their expansive sound works. The Canadian artist couple has succeeded in transferring the world of sounds, voices, and music into sculpture, thus shaping a new genre. In 2020, they were awarded the prestigious Wilhelm Lehmbruck Prize for their innovative life's work, in which the boundaries between sound art, radio play, concert, cinema, and theater dissolve. With texts by Söke Dinkla, Stefan Trinks, and Ronja Friedrichs, personal statements by companions of the artist couple, and a rich illustration, the catalog gives a deep insight into their work. Supplemented by sketches, video stills, and QR codes, the multimedia work is brought to life.
