In “Tableaux Vivants” the art forms interweave and allow hybrid relations to develop between the paintings, sculptures and videos of Roland Rauschmeier and the bodies of the performers choreographed by Anne Juren. When performance art and fine art meet one another in their formal languages, their visual logic and their history, mutually influence one another, fascinate, infect and react to one another, when the body continues itself in the image and vice versa, the audience’s perception begins to waver with the genre boundaries: form, plasticity, colour, texture and materials are set in motion and through Johannes Maria Staud’s composition are recombined in a moving image, a spatial assemblage. The music for the performance is provided by the Vienna ensemble PHACE | contemporary music.
