Hanne Darboven's "Wende 80" is a complex multimedia installation.

The works are aligned in a grid that is reminiscent of the structure of time and memory. The long-playing records additionally hold acoustic elements that complement the visual material and enable a synesthetic experience. This combination of visual and auditive media mirrors Darbovens interest in the connection of numbers, language and music.
