For the film Hanne Darboven. Am Burgberg, Julia Gaisbacher revisits the ensemble of buildings in Rönneburg, south of Hamburg, where Hanne Darboven lived and worked for over 40 years. The project takes as its starting point Darboven’s film The Moon is Risen (1982). By reenacting the original b/w camera movements and perspectives, Gaisbacher creates a visual dialogue between historical footage and images filmed in 2023. Passages from Darboven’s composition Opus 7 for Electronic Organ accompany the film.
Interwoven with these sequences are oral histories by Susanne Liebelt and Jörg Weil, whose memories reveal the Burgberg as a place where architecture, biography, and artistic production converge.
