Extra Visible Dimension:
Lynne Marsh's The Philharmonie Project (Nielsen: Symphony No. 5)

Moving beyond the iconic architecture of Berlin’s Philharmonie building, Lynne Marsh makes a two-channel video installation about what happens behind the scenes. In the process she reveals something not previously thought worthy of our attention—a space and the people it animates when they work there. Marsh’s work about technicians filming the live video broadcast of the Berlin Philharmonie’s performance of Carl Nielsen’s Symphony No. 5 could even be said to create this space; arguably, it didn’t exist before she filmed it. Disclosing the mechanisms at work behind the spectacle, Marsh creates by implication a portrait of the broader system within which we are all enmeshed.
