The photograph was taken during a recent artist residency on 26.11.25 at 10am, whilst listening to the Chemnitz Carillon being played from the town hall of Chemnitz, Germany. The carillonneur sits at a console,
a bench similar to an organ bench, and operates a keyboard with his feet and traditionally clenched right hand and open left hand. There is a key for each of the 48 bells. The keys are larger than on a piano and they are connected to the clapper of the bell by a long steel wire. Only manual operation makes it possible to strike the bells both loudly and softly and with gradations. As we listened it snowed, covering the 3D city map in the square.
