The Cisterns - Underground Art Hall 🇩🇰 (July 2024)

Welcome to The Cisterns in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen-a captivating subterranean world beneath the city. Originally a water reservoir, this atmospheric space now hosts unique art installations.
Today, we explore Start Again the Lament by Taryn Simon, an evocative sound installation delving into the anatomy of grief. Professional mourners from diverse traditions echo through these vaults, transforming The Cisterns into an instrument of collective mourning.
With laments from Albania, Greece, Wayuu, and Yazidi cultures, this installation reveals how loss resonates across humanity. Here, sound and space merge, pulling visitors through a journey of darkness, light, presence, and absence.
Let’s step into this haunting symphony of lamentation.
