DJ & Live set series
Planetarium Hamburg & Zeiss- Grossplanetarium Berlin
The fascination for space is connected to the big questions of our existence: about origin and the future. Amazement at the incomprehensible, the infinity – space. All of this is what electronic music is about. No other musical genre represents space like this perfect, points beyond usual structures and forms and searches for utopias, both musically and on a socio-cultural level: electronic music stands for an attitude to life of freedom and unity, it knows neither exclusion nor demarcation.
In an extraordinary DJ & live set series some of the women that have been photographed by Katja Ruge play under the full dome with the immersive 360 show in the Planetarium Hamburg alongside the photographer herself.
