Description<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Presented at G46: Fischergalgen am Rhein<\/a><\/strong> in Basel-City<\/strong>, Switzerland<\/strong> on 14.06.2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work is a response to my previous performance \u201cThe Encrypted Devil In Unseen Details<\/a><\/strong>\u201d, in which some texts about acing the devil being encrypted\/hidden in other human beings are performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The german title \u201cErdpol<\/strong>\u201d, \u201cTerrestrial pole<\/strong>\u201d in english, should be understood as a metaphor of an individual that is returning back to his body after a having been a long time outside of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pluto<\/strong>\/Hades<\/strong> is known as the roman\/greek god of the underworld. The ritualistic use of its sign made with candles was meant to be a grave for 4 poems. Once I read each they get burned and thrown to the symbolic underworld over the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end I jump into the Rhine as an association with the momentum of death by returning to the astral river to flow eternally in the aether. This was inspired by Radiohead<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Pyramid Song<\/a><\/strong> Lyrics \u201cI jumped into the river – black-eyed angels swam with me – a moon full of stars and astral cars – and all the figures I used to see\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
