Description

The optoacoustic installation "Kassiber" by Klaus Filip and Thomas Grill is a poetic reference to the "Igel“ („hedgehog"), a hiding place for those persecuted politically and religiously during the National Socialist era in the Salzkammergut.

Theresia Pesendorfer talks about her memories of her work in the resistance via a soundtrack from the Jainzenberg to the Kurdirektion. The interview was kindly made available in full length by Maximilian Stelzhammer.

The Salzkammergut is not only a place of nature and culture, but also has an important political history. During the National Socialist era, a strong tradition of resistance was cultivated here. Remote alpine pastures and high mountain regions served as hiding places (so-called “Igel”) for those persecuted for political and religious reasons. Knowledge of the barren environment and harsh climatic conditions, together with the cohesion of the local communities, helped the persecuted to survive here.

Water Sound Flows

Thomas Grill and his team connect the places of the region by presenting the sounds of water in different forms, using various artistic strategies.
