<Blue Burn> is an intermedia installation with performances based on an audio drama. It consists of a total of 14 channels of sound, 10 channels of lighting, 3 channels of video, audio drama and performance. This work, which consists of objets, sound, lighting and performer(artist) that can make people imagine multiple environments-scenes in one space, express about the 'value of pain'. It was reconstructed based on the situations and emotions of the anesthesia and pain treatment room in the university ward and sceneries such as walking trail, plants and night sky.

This installation handles a world that shows the inner part of the main character of an audio drama and an antithetic world with everyday objets and it is composed of several sound objet scenes and sequences. Furthermore, the work deals external ‘pain’ and internal ‘chaos’ with 'many contradictory phenomena' that can be seen in everyday life.

This work is an experiment on the cognitive interaction between sound, objets, performer and various media. Emotional themes are emphasized with situational direction and aesthetic elements of various sound scenes and layers of in-depth resonance and expressed with the atmosphere of the space and theatrical elements.

<Blue Burn> ist eine intermediale Installation mit Performances auf der Grundlage eines Hörspiels. Sie besteht aus insgesamt 14 Tonkanälen, 10 Lichtkanälen, 3 Videokanälen, einem Hörspiel und einer Performance. Dieses Werk, das aus Objekten, Sound, Beleuchtung und Performern besteht, die den Menschen mehrere Umgebungen und Szenen in einem Raum vor Augen führen können, bringt den "Wert des Schmerzes" zum Ausdruck. Es wurde auf der Grundlage der Situationen und Emotionen des Anästhesie- und Schmerzbehandlungsraums in der Universitätsklinik sowie von Szenerien wie einem Wanderweg, Pflanzen und dem Nachthimmel rekonstruiert.

Diese Installation behandelt eine Welt, die das Innere der Hauptfigur eines Hörspiels zeigt, und eine Gegenwelt mit Alltagsgegenständen. Sie setzt sich aus mehreren Szenen und Sequenzen von Klangobjekten zusammen. Inhaltlich befasst sich das Projekt mit äußerem "Schmerz" und innerem "Chaos" und "vielen widersprüchlichen Phänomenen", die im täglichen Leben zu beobachten sind.

Diese Arbeit ist ein Experiment über die kognitive Wechselwirkung zwischen Klang, Objekten, Performern und verschiedenen Medien. Emotionale Themen werden durch die situative Ausrichtung und die ästhetischen Elemente verschiedener Klangszenen und Schichten tiefgehender Resonanz hervorgehoben und durch die Atmosphäre des Raums und theatralische Elemente zum Ausdruck gebracht.

"I'm here because I am sick, but why do I have to hurt more!"

"Mom, Mom, Mom"

An excerpt from <Blue Burn>, 2022

"Would you like to touch the leaves?

Is it warm?

Is the living plant warm?"

"The sky without sun or moon.

It's dark but it is the quietest time."

"It was foggy one day.

I couldn't see it because it was so dark,

but when I looked up at the sky, blue stars were shining."

"It was a blue burn." "It was a good rain."
