Sound piece, 19 min (2019)
In dialogue with a silent partner, the narrator discusses questions
concerning violence, weapons, criminality and political action. The
conversation develops into a rhythmic, repetitive monologue with
reflections on direct violence, institutional violence and political violence;
revealing and juxtaposing the contradictions in contemporary society – but
also in the narrators own account.
As the sound piece unfolds, the narrator slowly shifts her standpoint: from wishing for a peaceful world, to stating that some types of violence are sanctioned and institutionalized, to declaring that passivity is also a form of violence, and in the end expressing a wish to kill the president.
The sound piece was created in dialogue with a choreography made by Bianca Hisse (based on the film Bande à part by Jean-Luc Godard).
In collaboration with Bianca Hisse.
