Planning context ★★☆☆☆
Thematic planning context:
The installations investigate whether and how people leave personal emotions on vacant buildings and spaces that have "fallen into a slumber" and to what extent these become perceptible and transferable.
Spatial planning reference:
Mooner works in the "Songs of the Siren" installations with the atmosphere of the respective, vacant buildings and with the found materials to store the emotionality of the places and to develop an (inter-) action space for the visitors* with the past. The end of Tegernseer Landstraße is one of the noisiest areas of the city after the construction of the city highway. The old grocery store has been preserved as an "intact world" in this "non-place". Using acoustic means, the installation interweaves past, present and future.
