presence/absence:::into the void is a reflection upon the history and the recent changes in the krakovian neighbourhood of kazimierz. the center of this meditation is the seemingly contradictory development of the last few years, which is showing that the attempts to re-animate jewish culture.
the piece is working on the basis of an attempt of reversing the seasons: from summer to winter
the 700-year-old jewish district of krakow. what struck meissner at first sight, was the glaring contrast between the rich though often neglected presence of the material culture and the dreadful absence of the community exterminated during the nazi days.
four months later, on 26 june 2003, at krowoderska52 club in krakow, sebastian meissner, ran slavin and eran sachs offered the final effects of their research in the form of series of pieces. they carefully crafted crunchy steps, freezing wind, cracking ice and conversations into a mesmerising film for ears. the imaginative power of the music was reinforced by slavin's video impressions - equally apt in conjuring up desolate though meaningful a digital environment referring to nowa huta the empty large defunct metal industry zone.
