It’s a great, thrilling honor to collaborate with the artists Bankleer for Gorki Theaters 7th Herbstsalon. For almost two months now, there will be the installation Echo sagt Bodensatz in the Tunnels of Gorki Theater / Unter den Linden Berlin. Original Text:
This performance is part of the artwork ECHO SAGT BODENSATZ, installation and performance with oversized heads and objects, bankleer 2013-25.
The built environment is a reference to the memory of a city. It is intended to convey an orderly, idealized narrative, a certain image of society. Beneath it, in the semi-darkness of the built environment, where orderly narratives dissolve and repressed and collective structures of meaning continue to exist, the world is still full of violence. Fragments of our collective memory are twisted, turned, and reinterpreted until anti-democratic and misanthropic narratives take hold. Conspiracy theories, resentment, and fear gain power through algorithmic ghosts that occupy the public discourse space, connected immediately, globally, and endlessly. A world inhabited by perverts, madmen, shameless people, Satanists, Nazis—we are coming!
To see the installation together with the performance Tohubassbuuh, please book a ticket for these Lindentunnel Tours.
