Art and fate: Gilchinger Kulturwoche enchants in the Wersonhaus

The Wersonhaus in Gilching is also attracting visitors this year with a fascinating light and sound installation during the cultural week. Under the title "All fate?!" Knead the word -rich, a creative writing group that has been active since March 2021, and the journey through time travel together with the Museum Schichtwerk on a moving journey through various facets of fate. The project manager, Sylvia Oertel, tells of the strong connection that has developed during the preparations.

"I was so enthusiastic and moved," recalls Oertel of the cultural week 2022, as spectacular graphics from the origin of the universe on the facade of the Wersonhaus. It was the inspiration that brought her and Annette Reindel, the head of the museum. Together they decided to achieve a new audience through an impressive exhibition on the occasion of the tenth week of culture. Oertel, who works as a project manager, explains that the word -rich is launching a public campaign for the first time.

The creative connection

The word -rich, consisting of five creative minds from Gilching, meet once a month to live out their passion for writing. Their age ranges from 40 to 70 years, and they come from different life and professional areas. This colorful mix brings together a variety of ideas and perspectives, which was also the key to the success of this project. Oertel emphasizes that the collaboration with Reindel came at the ideal time because both sides had the desire to create something unique.

With the topic of "fate", they quickly found a suitable setting for their installation. "We wanted to raise what is in the museum," explains Reindel, referring to the multi -layered stories that the exhibition has to offer. An essential source of inspiration was Jules Werson's personal life story, after which the Wersonhaus is named. "Everyone has a fate - this is a very universal topic," adds Oertel, pointing out that the planned content goes far beyond the individual exhibits.

In a complex creative process, various works of art were created, which are linked by words, tones and pictures. The aim was to make the topic of "fate" multimedia and experienced. A central element of the installation is the headphones supported, which create a kind of "Silent Disco". In a 20-minute work of art, the viewers can immerse themselves in the word worlds of the word rich.

"That was also a journey of discovery for us," notes Oertel. The demonstrations are designed in such a way that the guests are waiting for the start of the next performance to grasp the entire experience in depth. "I haven't quite seen it myself," admits Reindel and lets the tension feel on the upcoming vernissage.

The official opening of the project will take place on Friday, October 18, at 7 p.m. at the Wersonhaus, Brucker Straße 11. After that, a performance is shown every 20 minutes, which lasts until midnight. On Saturday and Sunday, October 19 and 20, the presentation continues from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., while the museum will be open to visitors at the same time. Admission is free of charge.

The 10th cultural week in Gilching extends from October 11th to 27th. The website www.kulturwoche-gilching.de is available for detailed information and the entire program.
