Mariele Neudecker’s piece of work (Winterreise, 2003) is a collaboration with Opera North where Schubert’s song cycle ‘WINTERREISE’ (A WINTER’S JOURNEY) has been used as a basis for a film-project using locations along the 60th parallel north. It is a compilation of 24 short films that exists both as a live performance version and in this context as a gallery version (duration 90’50”). It has been performed live at venues such as the Shaw Room, National Gallery, Dublin; Baltic, Newcastle and the Linbury Studio, Royal Opera House, London.
The gallery version was, most recently, included in INTIMACY, at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne.
Commissioned by the Contemporary Art Society Special Collection Scheme on behalf of Leeds City Art Gallery with Funds from the Arts Council Lottery, 2003 In conjunction with Opera North
