Kanons
In 18th century Europe, creative attempts were made to bring together the findings of art, natural science and the humanities in a holistic world view. Bones and fossils from prehistoric times reawakened mythical notions of dragons and giants; on the other hand, the bizarre finds inspired natural research in the modern sense. Amidst the fossil installations and dinosaur dioramas of the Lion’s Gate Museum, the ten canons of the “Musical Sacrifice” by J. S. Bach can be heard. With mathematical consistency, the complex canons revolve around themselves. The artificial order of Bach’s music meets the museum’s whimsical world of images.

Im Europa des 18 Jahrhunderts wurde auf kreative Weise versucht, die Erkenntnisse aus Kunst, Natur- und Geisteswissenschaft in einem ganzheitlichen Weltbild zusammenzuführen. Funde von Dinosaurierknochen und Fossilien weckten einerseits mythische Vorstellungen von Drachen und Riesen wieder auf, anderseits inspirierten die bizarren Funde die Naturforschung im modernen Sinne.
Wir spielen die 10 Kanons des »Musikalischen Opfers« von J. S. Bach inmitten der Fossilien-Installationen und Dinosaurier-Dioramen des Löwentor-Museums. Die komplexen Kanons kreisen mit mathematischer Konsequenz um sich selbst, sie verdrehen sich ineinander. Die artifizielle Ordnung der Bach-Musik begegnet der wunderlichen Bild-Welt des Museums mit seinen dramatischen Inszenierungen der Urgeschichte.
