Light, Film and Sound: New Worlds by Orleans and Vukosavljevic
Saturday evening is dedicated to two world premieres: Ela Orleans presents a new work for Ensemble Klang together with visual artist Pavla Beranova, while Ivan Vukosavljevic joins forces with Portuguese piano virtuoso Joana Gama for a brand-new project.
Shadow Forest is an immersive installation and performance by Korean artist Go-Eun Im that continuously adapts to its surroundings and its audience. Through film, live drawing, shadow play and a layered soundscape, a living environment emerges in which visitors are free to move and shape their own experience.
Inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and the forest as a utopian space, Shadow Forest invites moments of stillness, attention and renewed sensitivity to the small, fragile and more-than-human life around us.
Go-Eun Im: “I hope the audience experiences this work like being in a forest: unexpected, layered and alive.”
On 15, 16 & 17 January Go-Eun will present a special live performance within the installation, 19.00-19.45. There’s only space for a small audience, so arrive on time, first come, first serve!
After that, the installation will be open to visitors throughout the evening

Ensemble Klang & Pavla Beranova
Ela Orleans, Associate Maker for Ensemble Klang, is a Polish audiovisual artist and composer who blends image and sound in surprising ways.
Forma Nubium is a large-scale interdisciplinary work for sound, film, light, and text by composer Orleans, created in collaboration with Ensemble Klang and light designer Pavla Beranova.
The piece originated from a moment of quiet transformation: during a flight descending through clouds, city lights appeared and disappeared in the mist, offering a sense of consolation through motion and change. From this experience emerged a work that reflects on perception, impermanence, and the fragile beauty of transition. The title itself evokes this idea: forma meaning shape, nubium meaning of clouds.
Ensemble Klang stands at the core of Forma Nubium, shaping its musical language and expressive depth, and bringing this contemplative exploration of light, sound, and transformation vividly to life.
Ivan Vukosavljevic & Joana Gama
You can also listen to a brand new project by Ivan Vukosavljevic. A mind in the heart is his 3rd album, created in collaboration with Portuguese pianist Joana Gama. Consisting of 8 movements, it is composed under the veil of sounds of sacred music from Ivan’s homeland of Serbia. The work is immersed in the classical sound of the piano, the mystery of the Orthodox chant, the horizontal play of drone and melody, and the eternal presence of the sacred in music.
