Say These Names
Say these Names, 2015
performance, 15 min (variable)
Materials: an archive of slide pictures, a slide projector, a narrator, audience
This performance is created for a small audience of 4-5 people inside a intimate space. I therefore asked the audience to choose 36 slide photographs in random order, from these slides the artist narrated a story instantaneously.
In 2009 during a interim project in a former carpenters factory I found an archive of family slide photographs inside an abandoned workers apartment. An archive without its author is an archive without a story. One recognizes the similarities of all family archives; seeing the generations growing older, holiday icons, pets and private gardens, but memory lost.
The goal was to instantly react on what one sees, create associations and narrate a story out of this picture continuation - including metalevels, different characters, phantasy worlds, twisted plots and subject-object relations. Each story therefor is singular in its own. This performance is a long-duration performance, the artist will repeat the performance continuously. Each performances takes about 15min.
