Forgotten Futures /// ( 4 / 7 ) /// Silent Requiem

video upload by Hélène Vogelsinger

"Hidden deep in the forests of northwestern Bosnia, on the slopes of Mount Grmeč, lies a striking monument, powerful, enigmatic, and tragically forgotten. Built in 1979, the Grmeč Memorial Complex was dedicated to the Yugoslav Partisan fighters of World War II.

This is not a conventional monument. It was conceived as an immersive space, a place where history is not only told, but felt. Two white marble semi-spheres, each 15 meters high, rise like a blossoming flower; a symbol of freedom in the making. At the center stood a model of the surrounding terrain, illuminated from above by natural light pouring through a zenithal opening, evoking the secret partisan hospital once hidden in the mountain.

All around, forest paths wind through the trees, connecting concrete structures that once marked the hospital’s various buildings : kitchens, operating rooms, dormitories. The explanatory plaques have either disappeared or been vandalized, and nature has gradually reclaimed what was once a space of transmission and remembrance.

During the socialist era, Grmeč drew thousands of visitors, students, veterans, families from across the country. The nearby Grmeč Hotel stood as a symbol of a time when memory was shared, collectively lived and honored.

But memories, like societies, evolve.

With the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, the site was left behind, swept away by political upheavals, conflicts, and multiple layers of loss. Today, no signs point to it from the main road. The ceremonies have ended.

Silence has settled in.

Grmeč has become a paradoxical place: it was meant to embody unity, courage, and collective memory, yet today it stands in the shadows, caught between ruin and rebirth, between remembrance and forgetting.
And yet, this silence is not empty. It invites reflection. Because collective memory is never fixed ; it is shaped, challenged, and transformed.
What we choose to pass on, or not, speaks as much about the present as it does about the past. Grmeč reminds us that remembrance is a fragile gesture, sometimes painful, but always essential.

And in this place, lost in the heart of the forest, the weight and depth of Balkan history quietly surface, shaped by struggle, wounds, silences, but also by sincere acts of remembrance. A plural memory, sometimes fragmented, always full of meaning, if we are willing to stop and listen.

Anamnesis (4/4) - The Temple

video upload by Hélène Vogelsinge

Follow-up to Anamnesis (4/4) - The Lake

"Anamnesis (3/4)

The Temple ⛪

At the top of the village stands the church, one of the remnants that has been most spared by time. Built in the 11th century, it is made of heavy stones. Within these stones, centuries of history have accumulated.

Centuries of faith and hope; the sustenance of the pilgrim; those that propel forward but do not eliminate obstacles and do not offer a definitive abode.

Although devastated, the village is not part of the past,
and there are still a few lineages to bear witness to its
past existence.The descendants of the last farmer live
among the ruins, and we can still hear the sound of life
in the distance.

✨ 👁️ ✨ 👁️ ✨

Anamnesis is a 4-episode series which
immerses us in an ancestral story.
A story about a village and its inhabitants.
A story of resistance and its inescapable faith.

‘All ideas about the past, the present and the
future were shaped and made meaningful by
beliefs and expectations related to the End Times.

The final battle between good and evil and
the down of a new, divine order to death,
divine judgment and eternal afterlife’.

Sending you much Light
✨✨✨
🙏🙏🙏

« And now these three remain: faith, hope
and love. But the greatest of these is love. »

Always with 📷 Chalisk Pito

Anamnesis (4/4) - The Lake

video upload by Hélène Vogelsinger

"A n a m n e s i s ( 4 / 4 )

The Lake

The creation of the lake, 73 years earlier,
led to the flooding of the agricultural land
of the village's inhabitants.

Thus pushing them to leave their home,
where many generations have succeeded
one another since the twelfth century.

The resistance fighters were expropriated;
sealing the fate of these centuries of history.

Although devastated, the village is not part of the past,
and there are still a few lineages to bear witness to its
past existence.The descendants of the last farmer live
among the ruins, and we can still hear the sound of life
in the distance.

First Contact with the Ground Control

video upload by Helene Vogelsinger

« First contact »
is a new video series I’m starting.

A step into my creative process.

I had the chance to have my hands on the Ground Control, and found it was a great occasion to start this series.

In this episode, I used it to create some patterns, to prepare my upcoming outdoor session.

Nerdseq + ER101 will join it to add even more sequences, in a bigger system.

I then used this session to generate new ideas for my instrument parts, which were recorded and included later; the Philacordia, the vocals and the accordeon.

All of them will be then upload into my sampler modules for the outdoor session.

With Chalisk we tried to create a new hybrid audiovisual object.

We hope you will enjoy this new format.

Much Love
& Light to all of you
Take care 🙏

Morphagene as a Stepping Stone of the Creative Process

video by MAKEN0ISE

"In this video, Hélène Vogelsinger uses the Morphagene in combination with her voice to create the foundation of a whole piece.

She starts with a simple rhythmic and tonal vocal pattern, that then evolves into deep and grainy textures.

From the Earth to the entire Universe.
