A LEG COMES IN
Live Stream Performance, 2014
a leg comes in & now
Performance, Kunstverein Wien 2014
sitting in the TV
sitting in the radio
sitting in the computer
sitting in the cellphone
and knowing nothing about it.
When I was little, I always thought that there was someone sitting in the radio, in the TV, talking, right there, in the box. Now I’m sitting there myself, and the others are talking.I ask myself, should I sit here and act as if I wanted to entertain people—just because, for once, I’m not the one outside? There is no time I count 30 seconds 20 seconds 10 seconds
runs down
1 2 3 4 5 67 8 9 10 11 12 13 does one see a leg
now a leg comes in a arm comes out - bending and dancing
goes up
lost the line appears short and then is gone again
following the live stream, one answer follows another answer
does it go well. not really.
runs all the way down and jumps up the stairs
Come on foot - from the bottom to the top - out of breath (after godard) - up the stairs
arm and leg stretched, bent along the way sits in the TV without listening to an acoustic event Melody, tempo, rhythm, doesn't matter does the radio contact work in its regularity a an improvised parameter
runs up again
Comes along with muscle trainer and hat .
fitness isn't what it used to be. performing and live chatting _ do you hear me - up and down and up and down up counting the steps in the skyscraper counting from
1 to 13 and:1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and 10 and 11 and 12 and 13 .
do you hear me? running upstairs again.
No 13th floor there is. still, the house wasn't just visited by luck! moving in a high-rise when no one can see secretly putting on a hat even when it's hot the doorman isn't surprised, he doesn't notice the secrecy it is all staged – perform perform perform.
Runs downstairs comes as a musketier
and yells: see me, the dinosaur now I'm dancing here.
the skyscraper could be measured, with every step too much work tough
a lot has happened here
in the middle of Vienna
Hochhaus 6 – 8
Runs up again
suicide over all decades
over time again and again someone has sought the balcony;
which was also the ballroom terrace for excessive parties.
during the Reichskristallnacht flats were exchanged
some went out into deportation others fled into another country.
Dinosaurs
a brief moment of shock! must there be
old friends we loose new friends we find
dance and arrange yourself new parties and new tenants -
curd jürgens was famous for his parties during the war -
read for yourself. In the book Hochhaus 6 -8 / Page 136
stop watch:
Yes, yes.
10 minutes are over.
10 minutes later and another bells ring
These are not the noon bells
And then it's over – the high-rise reportage of Hochhaus Herrengasse 6 – 8 in Vienna
