ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Symphony of a Missing Room by the artist duo Lundahl & Seitl is a guided tour through Museum der Moderne in Salzburg where the visitors embark on both a collective and an extremely personal journey around the museum and its existing curatorial space. Via wireless headphones, a voice takes visitors, led by performers, on an itinerary that traverses layers of physical and imaginary architecture of the museum. By the use of multi-sensory illusions and binaural sound recordings the visitor’s attention is steered away from the visible and tangible world and diverted into a new perception of the self, time and space. 

Symphony of a Missing Room was commissioned for a series of museums in the UK and around Europe between 2010 and 2012. Growing along a chain of situations and places, it is an artwork in a constant state of becoming. Symphony of a Missing Room is exhibited inside museums while at the same time being a temporal museum about itself: it reflects back on its own chain of discoveries. As a composite artwork it exists in a virtual reality parallel to the physical spaces it inhabits.

We advise you to arrive at the reception desk of Museum der Moderne on top of the Mönchsberg no later than 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the performance. Please wear comfortable shoes as you will be taken on a blind tour and some places in the museum may present uneven surfaces.
