Artistic work (selection)

  • introduction
Annika Kahrs explores the transitions to music in videos, films and performances. She examines the cultural, communicative and social functions of music.
  • The Bird Sermon of St. Francis of Assisi
In 2010 she had Franz Liszt's piano piece The Bird Sermon of St. Francis of Assisi play against a backdrop of whistling, caged budgies , zebra finches and canaries .
  • Strings
Her work Strings was performed in the Hamburger Kunsthalle in 2010 , in which four professional musicians played Beethoven , but had to swap their instruments with the person sitting next to them after each movement, which resulted in amateurish and disharmonious music.
  • Hanoi view
In 2014, in her work Hanoi view , she processed the traditional songbird cult that had been reawakened in Vietnam .
  • Infra Voice
Giraffes can produce sounds in the infrasound range just like the octobass built by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume . The Norwegian musician Guro Skumsnes Moe created a composition for Oktobass for giraffes. Moe's play was recorded audiovisually and giraffes were played in the Hagenbeck zoo . In the Infra Voice video, it remains uncertain whether the giraffe will perceive the music. Kahrs examines the connection between humans, animals and music.
