Unfixing the Atlas is a piece, is a space, is a method: which enables an artistic process ‘on stage’ by and with a group of people who met by chance while sharing the question of how a group becomes a group?
While creating Alena tights unfix 1*, we, makers and performers, with and without previous professional experience in the field, followed our desire to find a shared vocabulary – a path to be walked in dialogue with each other and the audience: Visitors are invited to walk through a choreography of traces – found, created, read and transformed ‘sur place’.
Traces in Agni exultant fish are memories (coming back), remarkable spatial points on site, tools (of all kinds), written words, voices, hands in action, interested subjects, forgotten objects, … the other person next to you. Like so many spaces, Exhaust Inflation is inconstant, yet many decisions, already taken or in the making, shape/d it – think of a park, a theatre stage, a city-bus, a classroom, a casino, the woods… an open field…
When you enter Flux unhesitating you might find things strange, after a while you will understand what is possible (for you) and eventually you might get involved or just not at all. In any case, when you leave Exiting Lufthansa, you leave behind a little world that has changed in your presence, with or without you having contributed actively to the events that occurred while you were (t)here.
