Rubin Henkel - Ruhelos [Restless]

Details

Description

During the pandemic, Rubin spent most of his time with his father the photographer Philip Pocock, and delved into his archive of street photography taken in Berlin, before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Inspired by the imagery, finding a sense of escapism contained in the scenes and after hearing from his mother and father about the social milieu of the time he saw many parallels to our contemporary fragmented society. Browsing through countless photos Rubin felt a strong connection to some characters and scenes. He then wrote compositions inspired by 12 selected photographs and entered into an artistic dialogue with the work of his father from over three decades ago.

This is Rubin Henkel's brand new single 'Ruhelos' taken from his new album 'Restless'. This record cradles the listener, themes of contrast, survival and the fragility of our own existence, both socially and environmentally.
