A walk-in installation of a haunted ship
The Ship O' Fools is stranded on the Opernplatz. The fools have left the ship, but below deck their ghosts continue to haunt the vessel through a mysterious jumble of flotsam and jetsam and small treasures. Strange machines rattle, to no visible purpose. A violin plays by itself. In between, a light flickers, bringing miniature scenes to life. Ghostly voices whisper across the space. A muffled song rises from the depths. Objects, scenery, sound and light are combined in the mind of the visitor to create a lost world full of stories.
The Canadian artist duo, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, are masters at inventing fantastic worlds. Crossing the boundaries between visual art and theatre, they are celebrated internationally and have been awarded the Käthe-Kollwitz Prize of the Academy of Arts (to be presented to them in June 2011). Their theatrical installations are stage sets, which act by themselves. The visitors – children as well as adults – enter this enchanted world alone and embark on a journey of discovery through a mysterious universe full of stories and memories.
