In the old medical auditorium at ul. Kopernika 15 – where the walls still remember another kind of pain – Unsound’s Morning Glory concerts take place. Here, the French guitar deconstructor Nina Garcia pushed her instrument to the breaking point: piercing feedback, pulsing noise, and small rhythmic movements that glinted like metal in the morning light.
Afternoon Glory featured yet another guitar deconstructor, Tashi Dorji. The Bhutanese artist »peeled« his guitar apart with almost ceremonial patience, making calm gear shifts along the way and – after forty minutes – a single outburst.
During the Glory concerts, there are no visuals – only the sun pouring into the auditorium, only the noise breaking the clinical calm of the former hospital grounds. If Lars von Trier ever filmed a Polish hospital, this would be the place.
