“Stimono” by Thomas Baumann

As part of the initiative „Kunst am Bau“, the outside of the Salzburger Landestheater features a very special glass body: since 2010 this art installation mirrors the noises inside the theatre.


Historic building with modern elements

The historically listed Salzburger Landestheater was restored in 2009 – in the course of that work, an artistic intervention by Thomas Baumann was brought to fruition on the long side of the theater facing Schwarzstraße. “Stimono” consists of a large glass display case mounted on a stone plinth.

Each sound a light signal

The inside of the case displays a visual representation of goings-on inside the theater around the clock, with the sounds recorded there transformed by this sculpture into light: including orchestral rehearsals, applause and even building work. This results in light formations that are reminiscent of the ECG of a heartbeat. By means of their movements, both employees and the public become a part of this artwork. In this way, all the components that make the theater what it is are made visually perceptible to the outside world.
