WHERE LEGENDS ARE MADE AND LIES ARE TOLD (graduation project). Originated by this divine union of @parishilton @britneyspears @lindsaylohan (aka the Holy Trinity <3) the night of the infamous Bimbo Summit, WLAMALAT is the visual and critical translation of my obsession for the #y2k it-girls and #popculture in general. Mixing a religious with a highly commercial aesthetic, the project questions several topics such as women representation in the mass media, visual/celebrity culture consumption and new belief systems.

"sentimental gentle rental”, das Abschlussprojekt von Juliane Schmitt, ist eine Performance- und Soundinstallation, die sich um die Portativorgel dreht, ein Instrument, das im Mittelalter populär war. Die Arbeit basiert auf der Recherche über Nonnen in mittelalterlichen Klöstern. Die Portativorgel prägt die Aufführung durch ihren atemähnlichen Rhythmus. Die begrenzte Tonreichweite wird durch die Verwendung von Tools erweitert, um die Pfeifenlängen zu verändern. Dabei entsteht Reibung durch Obertöne, Dissonanzen und schwingende Frequenzen. Die Performerinnen synchronisieren ihren Atem mit dem Instrument und schaffen so ein zartes Gleichgewicht von Klang und Stille. Die Portativorgel, geliehen von einem Orgelbauer, wird damit zu einem Stellvertreterobjekt zarter Sentimentalität und zeitlich begrenzter Transzendenz.

"sentimental gentle rental” the graduation project by Juliane Schmitt is a performance and sound installation centered on the portative organ, an instrument that was popular in medieval times.
The work is based on research on nuns in medieval monasteries. The portative organ shapes the performance through its rhythmic breath-like cadence. The limited tonal range is expanded by using tools to adjust pipe lengths, producing higher tones and creating friction with overtones, dissonances, and oscillating frequencies. The performers synchronize their breath with the instrument, creating a delicate balance of sound and silence, transforming the organ that was borrowed from an organ builder into a vessel of gentle sentimentality and temporal transcendence.
