I WILL BE YOUR SPACE IF YOU WILL BE MINE (2022)
Site specific performance, 30 min.
Artist book (closet drama), edition 100
Kunstraum Dornbirn AT
I WILL BE YOUR SPACE IF YOU WILL BE MINE gives a voice to the void of Kunstraum Dornbirn for an evening. What is said, when something, that doesn’t seem to need a voice, gets one? And can the speaker be artist, exhibition space and audience at the same time?
In the performance, the void was given many different voices in collaboration with five invited performers from varous local communities reading the script of a closet drama into the space while sitting in a tight arrangement together with the audience, who did not know beforehand who were taking part in the gig.
What this particular void ends up addressing, as it gradually comes to grips with the use of language, is the ecosystem for a meaningful experience between art, space and audience. It raises questions about control and disorientation, as well as the structures and hierarchies that underlie perception, memory, and communication.
Co-performers:
Manuel Blechschmidt
Pirmin Hagen
Severin Hagen
Nongma Moktar Sam
Elena Schertler
Sonja Schiffmann
