textur is a series of audiovisual works by Bernhard Gal, to be presented in installations or live performances.

In an attempt to integrate textures from the visual and acoustic realms, textur uses snapshots from the 'real world'
that show a textural quality, i.e. either repetitive, rhythmic elements or amorphous, static qualities. textur is considered as an
ongoing exploration, a work-in-progress in the best sense. Depending on context and possibilities, it may be presented as a
live performance, a video projection, or a site-specific installation.

textur #2 (radio ears)

The starting point for textur #2 (radio ears) are photographs of satelite dishes in Istanbul. These images are overlapped in time and combined with various field recordings from Istanbul and live sounds of fm radio waves.

textur #2 was premiered at Domu umení, Opava, Czech Republica, as part of the art project 'Hermes EAR', in January 2006.
