Wu Tsang, resident director at Schauspielhaus Zürich from 2019 to 2024, returns to Heimplatz with curator and dramaturge Enrique Fuenteblanca. As part of the ReCollect! series, they present La montaña invertida, an intervention that brings together works from the Kunsthaus collection and a newly conceived sound installation.
The starting point is the motif of the mountain – a symbol of retreat, sublimity and myth. Tsang and Fuenteblanca reverse the viewpoint: what does it mean to see from below, to “see with your ears”? Their intervention opens new perspectives – beyond the dominant narratives.

In the dome hall, a sound installation – developed during an artistic residency at the Klanghaus Toggenburg – meets selected works from the collection. The piece blends flamenco, noise and contemporary composition, with contributors including members of Moved by the Motion, Rocío Márquez and Katia LeDoux.
This acoustic landscape is enriched by works from Marianne von Werefkin, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Nedko Solakov. Johann Adam Meisenbach’s photograph of dancers at Monte Verità links body, movement and reform culture.
From spring 2026, the intervention will extend into the print room. Themes such as identity, memory and the myth of Carmen will be explored from new angles – a multi-layered gesture curated by Raphael Gygax.

This exhibition is supported by The Leir Foundation.
