Film Night: Signer’s Suitcase by Peter Liechti

We are happy to invite you to a screening of Signer’s Suitcase / Signers Koffer (1995), directed by Peter Liechti.

A road movie across Europe featuring Swiss artist Roman Signer. From the Swiss Alps to Eastern Poland, from Stromboli to Iceland, the film follows the contours of magically charged landscapes, capturing a journey in search of the ideal travel speed. Signer marks the places he visits with his own highly personal instruments – simple, striking interventions full of subtle humor. Stools are catapulted, rockets shoot with colored ribbons, and fragile table rafts float across water. Each action is a “sculptural chamber music,” as Signer calls it, transforming ordinary objects into poetic performances.

“I have a sensitive hearing – I am almost ashamed of the noise an explosion causes.”
– Roman Signer

Film night on 16 January at 6 PM in the gallery.
