Onomatopee will use the Hermitage as a base for negotiation with the city. We will send artist and writers into the city, to generate text, sounds and visuals.
Our major project at the Hermitage is called ‘Onomatopee van Helmond’, for which Onomatopee sends writers to reside at local households for one weekend. Inspired by Guy Debord’s situationisme and psycho-geography, they will write to transform situations into stories.
The visits at the households will be followed by a cameraman and will be broadcasted on Stads-TV Helmond. Every month a new première will be screened in the Hermitage, with red carpets for writers and guest-households.
After the visit, Onomatopee will present the story told in audio by the artist at the Hermitage. The project will finish with the presentation of a book containing all the stories.
