Anette Friedrich Johannessen (NO) und Judith Huber (CH)

Together Elsewhere with Judith Butler.

Where: We both had a staircase belonging to our house. By being close to our house we could rely on good WIFI connection. Oppositions came clear for the place we chose. It was the urban space in contrast to the suburban. My staircase was in the garden. My garden is surrounded by plants and trees. Secluded from neighbours, I had an idea that I would get a feeling of performing in the landscape, which I often do in my own project.

Changes
I had forgotten about the construction workers who was working in a new building just below my garden area. They were not making any construction noise, but had the radio on. A low sound of 90s pop-music entered my performance. By being in this limbo of working towards intuitive actions and still being aware to the sounds around me, my actions was no longer completely opposite to the urban space Judith was performing in. It took me a bit longer to achieve this sense of mediative action, but at the end I did. And then the 30 minutes had passed. (Anette Friedrich Johannessen)
