Markus Schinwald & Oleg Soulimenko

Stage Matrix #2

STUK Studio

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.
