http://www.vernissage.tv | For her first solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Basel in Switzerland, the young artist Hannah Weinberger conceived a site-specific sound installation that fills the five ground floor galleries of the Kunsthalle. The work is titled When You Leave, Walk Out Backwards, So I'll Think You're Walking In and consists of eleven ambient sound loops that are played on the eleven channels that the artist has installed in the galleries.

The visual aspect of the piece is reduced to the loudspeakers, which are placed in the rooms and echo absorbing curtains that are installed alongside the walls. By walking through the different galleries of the Kunsthalle, the visitors to the exhibition are meant to compose their own soundtrack.

Hannah Weinberger was born in 1988 in Filderstadt, Germany. She lives and works in Basel and Zürich, Switzerland. Hannah Weinberger studied Media Arts at the Zürich University of the Arts. She is one of the founding members of the project space Elaine Mgk in the courtyard of Museum für Gegenwartskunst Basel (together with Tenzing Barshee, Nikola Dietrich, and Scott Cameraon Weaver).
