Scorpions and Subtitles

2016 – Performance

6 min, video collage, TV, carpet

Description

Presented at Tranzition II in Toni Areal, Zürich, Switzerland on 03.06.2016 – Festival des Arcs 2016 in Ehrendingen, Aargau, Switzerland on 18.06.2016

This performance was developed from the idea of playing and watching a film at the same time, or performing a film in the film.

The video collage consisting only of violence is accompanied by a poetic-aphoristic text about Postcolonialism and scorpions. I read the German subtitles of the text in Spanish while the film is running.

In the end I destroy the television as a symbolic act against the epistemic violence of this image-creating dispositive.
