Lars von Trier has chosen music by Novi_sad for his new project 'Gesamt'.

What happens when a master challenges the people? When everyone is invited to reinterpret some of the greatest art pieces of our time? Is it within everyone to make art? And do we stand out the most when we stand together?

Lars von Trier has recently launched and conceptualized a project entitled ’’Gesamt’’. Gesamt’s explicit translation is a ’’whole’’ or ’’cummulaive’’ and ’’Gesamt Art’’ can be translated into an ‘’ideal work of art’’, a ’’universal work of art’’ or ’’synthesis for the arts’’. The term has been used by the German composer of classical music Richard Wagner. He used the word as a reference to an art piece that is put together by as many different art forms as possible, be it poetry, music, visual arts, dance or drama as well architecture and opera.

Trier has selected six artworks/challenges and artists have been asked to respond in these challenges with the contribution of a film or music piece. These artworks are from Paul Gauguin, Albert Speer, Cesar Franck, James Joyce, August Strindberg and Sammy Davis Jr.

Novi_sad’s (Thanasis Kaproulias) music has been selected by Lars von Trier and he is contributing in Gesamt with a musical piece associated to James Joyce's ’’Ulysses’’.

''Gesamt'' will premiere on October 12th 2012, at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen. The result will be between one or four films, but some rules apply: Gesamt must be shown in a dark room with four large screens in each corner. The screens will all be running at the same time - but they may not show the material simultaneously. In this sense the spirit of a gesamtkunstwerk is visible in the screening itself.

Gesamt is part of Copenhagen Art Festival.
