MUFFLING FOG - AFTER MARTIN HEIDEGGER | 2014

The Multimedia Concert for piano, sound, and video art.
Acoustic grand piano, stereo sound, and single-channel video. Duration: 45' 00
Composer, director, video, sound: Gio Janiashvili.

The work takes its inspiration from the philosophy of boredom of Martin Heidegger. In the multimedia concert, piano, sound, and video play equal importance in the performance structure, which examines emotional states of boredom and particularities of the flow of time in relation to it.

Profound boredom, drifting here and there in the abysses of our existence like a muffling fog, removes all things and men and oneself along with it into a remarkable indifference. This boredom reveals being as a whole. - Martin Heidegger.
