EXUVIE - AV SHOW
2026
Exuvie is an immersive experience that brings together sound, movement, and image, expanding the conceptual and sonic universe of Büchi’s album of the same name. The work emerges as a meditation on transformation, memory, and the fragile boundary between what has been lived and what continues to resonate.
Derived from the Latin exuviae (what has been shed), Exuvie explores the tension between matter and memory; the traces that remain after change, and the slow, embodied processes through which the body absorbs, remembers, and transforms. Past and present coexist within the mind, their layers constantly blurring. Memories surface as dense, almost physical flashbacks, gradually deforming perception and substance.
At the center of the visual narrative is dancer Rebeka Mondovics, whose choreography treats the body as a living archive, an ever-shifting vessel in which memory, perception, and space continuously merge. Movement appears as a fleeting imprint of time, carried by a breathing, porous corporeality. In close dialogue with Büchi’s music, sound and gesture form a shared temporal space, opening passages of remembrance and metamorphosis.
The video universe, developed by visual artist Brigitte Faessler, weaves together color, light, and motion into a sensorial visual poetry. Mixing analog and digital techniques, the imagery oscillates between the real and the imaginary, constructing fictional inner landscapes that feel both intimate and uncanny.
Musically, Exuvie takes shape like a painting in sound. Büchi’s composition moves between electroacoustic spectral layers, orchestral gestures, and unadorned rhythmic repetitions, integrating echoes of video game soundtracks, anime music, hip hop, and late Romanticism. These fragments, both personal and cultural, form an architecture of remembrance.
The show has been premiered at CTM Festival in 2026. LISTEN TO THE ALBUM

DOES IT STILL MATTER - AV SHOW
2024
Does It Still Matter is an immersive audiovisual experience that invites viewers to reflect on the impermanence of our material world and our relationship to our own materiality. Through a visceral interplay of sound and visuals, the performance explores the processes of transformation and dissolution, drawing attention to the cyclical nature of existence. The central element of Does It Still Matter is the human figure, represented by actress Joséphine de Weck.
This live show is based on Noémi Büchi’s album of the same name, released in May 2024. It marks the culmination of a series of creations exploring the physical nature of sound, following on from Matière and Matter. In Does It Still Matter, her questions the state of our world, which has become increasingly fluid and immaterial
This projection carries an aesthetic power, with its minimalistic approach that is nonetheless intense in its detailed expression. The figure exists in the present moment, making only minimal movements that embody a state of being here and now. Their struggle, mental fluctuations, and subtle motions reflect the challenges of human existence, until the control of so-called "nature" begins to take over, asserting its dominance and transforming the narrative.
Set against a backdrop of environmental disasters and global crises, Does It Still Matter serves as a meditation on impermanence. It challenges audiences to confront the ephemeral nature of existence while offering moments of introspection through the power of sound. Persistent echoes and sonic fragments linger long after the performance, leaving behind a haunting resonance that continues to provoke thought and emotion.
The show has been premiered at L.E.V. Festival in 2024.

ECLIPSE - AV SHOW
2023
Eclipse is an audiovisual collaboration between Swiss composer and sound artist Noémi Büchi and visual artist Christoffer Joergensen. The work seeks to bring together two distinct perceptions of reality and explore hybrid conceptual worlds.
Noémi Büchi’s music captures the tension between growth and decay, consonance and dissonance, reflecting her own process of catharsis through music.
In his work, Christoffer Joergensen explores the potential of hybrid image-making by combining painting, sculpture, photography, photogrammetry, and 3D graphics.
The show has been premiered at Ars Electronica in 2023.
