Pan Daijing devises performances and exhibitions as Gesamtkunstwerke, total works of art in which architectural intervention, light, sound, and movement interact to tell stories that go beyond language. Her haunting compositions for voice and electronic instruments combine opera and noise music. Mute—in which the artist and composer examines silence and liveness—is Pan’s biggest solo exhibition to date. This monograph is published in conjunction with the exhibition and in collaboration with Tai Kwun Contemporary is the first comprehensive presentation of Pan’s work in the dynamic zone straddling music and visual art.
This publication was published on the occasion of the exhibition, Pan Daijing. Mute at Haus de Kunst München from March 9, 2024 to April 14, 2024.
