God will be their light - 3´55", colour, sound, Cinemascope, 4k, Germany, 2019
God will be their light was created for the major Giovanni Batista Tiepolo exhibition at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. In an extremely long format, the six singers of the Queen's Six appear one after the other and begin to sing Nico Muhly's composition God will be their light. As if on a musical stave, the six musicians are arranged on a horizontal line of light, whereby neither the proportions between them nor their positions in relation to each other correspond to a real space, i.e., a real stage. The complete absence of interaction between the musicians also has an otherworldly effect—the video is the antithesis of the idea of an ensemble.
