KMRU, Stefan Demming, and an open conversation space
The sound composition is by KMRU, while Stefan Demming conceptualizes and realizes the project. Demming has been working in place-based and context-related projects since 2010 and has been creating space and video installations since 2001. This experience shapes the curated character of the evening, providing the audience with a clear, artistically grounded approach. ([georgel.me](https://georgel.me/das-team/))
