Performance at Fatima Gate/ South of Lebanon
Duration: 3 hours

Performance of 24 hours.

After leaving the airplane at Ben Gurion Airport Tel Aviv and explaining the performance and the origin of received cultural funds to the border police the artist takes a donkey to direct herself towards the Kassaba Theater in Ramallah (Israel/Palestine). After 24 hours she takes a flight back to the initial departure city. The performance reflects on inter-seminal spaces between ideality and reality and is documented with photographs. The donkey, often portrayed as a work animal, is the symbol of the Egyptian Sun god Ra.

This performance introduces the praxis of collective taxis as known in some African and Middle Eastern countries into a European city, Paris, while using a Taxi registered in Germany. The ride was offered to the passenger for free. In exchange the users had to accept to be filmed during the trip and allow the footage to be exhibited. The work is inspired by the text « homo sacer » of Giorgio Agamben practicing a nexus between sovereign power and bare life.

The Performance is inspired by a text on the concept of rhizome by philosopher Gilles Deleuze calling for a panther -becoming subjecthood, materialized as a form of deterritorialization. An agent of connective machinery of desire the subject is driven towards an engagement in a political, social and cultural act beyond territorial belonging.

Performance created on a 4 hours Parabolic Flight engineered by Deutsche Luft- und Raumfahrt and novespace Bordeaux France alongside other experiments conducted by Scientists and Technologists. Costumes and Ready-made Dodecahedron.

The work is inspired by the work of architect, theorist and inventor Buckminster Fuller taking planet Earth as a Spaceship requiring regular maintenance engineering on the basis of ephemeralization. The performance recreates the 4 different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) in a prepared dodecahedron in front of a Dymaxion Map during a zero gravity flight using regulation of light, electricity, temperature. The performance is acted out by a team of performers wearing costumes which are inspired by Space flight clothing. The performers appear simultaneously as a localized surface of projection (of the other gaze) conscious about their own limited ressources and as agents performing a technology based ritual within a “world-around” geometric perspective, a form of technological reproducibility in a Walter Benjamin sense.
