Stage Matrix #2
Video installation non stop accesible from 20:00 to
23:00
When you furnish a flat, a kind of selfportrait emerges. If you set up a
stage, however, then you are portraying a person about whom you not only
don’t know what they actually like, but you cannot even say exactly who
they are. In the video installation Stage Matrix #2, the
performer is assisted by a “furniture machine” which is so stubborn that
one almost gets the impression that the person is portraying the furniture
and not vice versa. The performer moves between the role of a Utopian
craftsman – a specialialist in extraterrestrial environment – and that of a
tool in a big machine. What remains unclear is what or who is influencing
or initiating whom.
