A new performance by artist Redmond Entwistle inspired by the life of US soldier Edward Pimental, who was murdered by left-wing terrorists for his ID card in West Germany in 1985. The work comprises a sound composition by Andreas Reihse made from field recordings of locations from Pimental’s life in the US and Germany, combined with a series of visual scores by Entwistle, elaborating on the multiple narratives that circulate around the murder.
About
Taking a cue from biographical details of Pimental's growing intellectual and artistic curiosity in the army, in the film he begins to experiment with sound recording around his base in the weeks leading up to his murder. The General Line allows for the realisation of the piece of music he is making, but draws on a wider set of recordings that extend to the places of his childhood and youth; a technical high school in Queens, a missile training site in Alabama, and the abandoned sites of old US army bases in the former West Germany.
Booking is Essential. Book online here, or call 020 7703 6120
The General Line is a companion piece to Redmond Entwisle’s artists feature film Lockvogel (Decoys) and serves as both an addendum to, and a complication of the film.
