Nürnberg ’25

„Musik Installationen“ Nuremberg

Performance & Multimedia Installation 2025


At the invitation of curator Marie-Therese Bruglacher, Anke Eckardt’s project explores the possibilities of communication and interaction between different species from a multidisciplinary perspective. The project comprises two chapters: the first at the Dutzendteich, one-off and performative, the second installative, in an inside location over the festival period.

At the Dutzendteich, directly in front of the Colosseum of the Reichsparteitagsgelände in Nuremberg, Germany, animal-shaped pedal boats enter into a dialog with each other during regular operation.

Gradually, communication shifts towards a progressive debate that evokes both the illusory facades of our contemporary everyday life and the cultural-historical background of urban leisure activities, here in the extreme case of Albert Speer’s ideological architectural design of the Dutzendteich.

The action ends in a symbolic rescue operation in which a “creature” is saved from the lake.

At the second location inside, the “rescued” creature finds itself in an indeterminate community of creatures. Here, the identity-creating nomenclature of human language shifts to a new form of imagined communication between species.

At the same time, the creatures are projection surfaces – both as a symbol for cultural projection (Donna Haraway) and as a projection surface for newly imagined world views.
