Mischa Kuball. res.o.nant

From November 2017 to September 2019, res.o.nant, a conceptual light and sound installation by Mischa Kuball, reverberated throughout the basement of the Libeskind Building in the Jewish Museum Berlin. This book comprises five thematic sections—Space of Experience, Void, Sound Space, Light, and Urban Space—through which twenty-two thinkers, artists, and writers have examined and interpreted Kuball’s work. Like the architecture of the Libeskind Building itself, res.o.nant also responds to the void, the absence of Jewish life in Europe after the Shoah.

In Kuball’s installation and its concurrent performance program, in the spaces of architecture, the membrane and the skin, resonance becomes the antithesis to alienation in the world.
