Westtangente

Video Installation

9:30 - 10:30 p.m.
Berliner Platz
Ratingen-West

Anne Schülke grew up in Ratingen-West. In the three channel video installation "Westtangente" she brings together memories of spaces, designs, paths, colors, sounds and rhythms. In 2019, she took instant photographs around the former Parrot Houses (three high rise buildings) and the Swan Pond and staged them in a model made of hard foam panels and found material. In this way, she returns the images to an architectural context. The sound is based on a rhythmic sequence by Detlef Klepsch and her voice.

On 2 April 2022 a projection of "Westtangente" took place on Berliner Platz after sunset.

From March 26, 2021 to April 25, 2021, the Museum Ratingen showed the video installation Westtangente and the artist's book "Parrots and Swans" in the museum's project room.

Parallel to Katharina Maderthaner's installation "oben ohne" (topless), which was on display in the Mosaik shopping center from 25 April to 25 June 2021, posters of stills from "Westtangente" hung in the windows of various stores.

In 2020, Anne Schülke developed the works "1976, im Osten Westtangente" and "Stahlproduktion, Brot, Anschlussfehler" as part of the project "Eisenhüttenstadt - Between modell und museum" by the Kunstverein Kloster Neuzelle in Eisenhüttenstadt in Brandenburg, Germany. Part of her contribution was the screening of a slideshow (1976) preserved in the Ratingen city archive, which she commented on.
