Earlier this month, the video for <a href="http://vimeo.com/49295610">Duck Become Swan</a> from the 2012 album <a title="Markus Mehr - On" href="http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/on"><em>On</em></a> competed as part of the official selection at the 19th l’Etrange Short Film Festival in Paris.

On September 21, Mehr’s audiovisual installation with Stefanie Sixt, titled Sublimit(y) Water, will show at the <a href="http://www.kunstparcours-augsburg.de/">Artparcours Festival</a> in Augsburg. The artwork utilises abstracted footage and sound recordings of nearby water bodies and seeks recontextualise the Western world’s approach to water consumption and wastage.

Mehr and Sixt will also be performing their audiovisual piece <a href="http://vimeo.com/57922506">B C H I J</a>, an examination and exploration of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism. Those performances will happen in Berlin on October 24 and at the Dok Festival in Kassel on November 16.

The performances for <a href="http://www.wunderderpraerie.de/2013/first-life-ein-melodram">First Live</a>, a play for which Mehr contributed music, will take place on September 20 and 22 at Festival Center in Mannheim and January 17 and 18 at the Pumpenhouse in Münster.

Finally, a reminder that Mehr’s fantastic new live album <em>Live In Bari</em> is available for free download from the <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/markus-mehr/">Hidden Shoal Store</a> and <a href="http://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-bari">Bandcamp</a>.
