On 9 and 10 September, WIELS presents Workers in Song, a collaboration between visual artist James Richards and composer Billy Bultheel. The performance is haunted by histories of occult photography and spectral music, as well as more trivial pleasures such as internet hook ups, fanship and Franz Schubert’s Winterreise.

Richards & Bultheel question the boundaries between live and the pre-recorded, between presence and absence, between ghosts and the archives in a dynamic and intimate encounter between the audience, musicians and the moving image.

Workers in Song inhabits the whole of the second-floor gallery at WIELS, turning it into a cinematic Frankenstein. Songs and images come flickering and humming into life, performers shift in front and behind the audience, weaving an array of cover versions, interruptions, distortions and homages.

After the performance, key elements of the scenography are left in place as an audiovisual installation.
