James Hesford

Berlin - painting and composition project 24 hour

The Berlin 2 Composition was based on photographs and films of the event which took place in June (09) in an abondoned railway roundhouse in East Berlin. The Painting is RED. Three elements which came to James synchronistically contributed to the composition (again using 12 musicians - cellos - arranged in a 50 meter diameter circle but this time with solo cello in the centre). 1. Photographs of the costume Ivanov wore to paint the circle. It was covered in red paiint and looked like a blood stiained cross 2. images of the building -brutal and industrial - railway tracks, huge iron doors, rotting wooded structure. 3. the cross of Jesus on the cover of CD of Bach's St John's Passion - written on tape - dipping into Bach's score.
