CONCEPT

The longer one stays with something, the more they grow to love it. Like a pop song that is stuck between existential crises and endless rehearsal growing with its repetitions in your ears. Scattered papers, leftover words and thoughts, images of worlds dying: they hunt us to remind us what all could have been. I feel I keep falling off the timeline...

CONTEXT OF THE SHOW

“In the visual arts, Verlorene Form is used to refer to a cast-ing mould for making a copy of an artwork. After a single use it is no longer functional and must be destroyed. Figuratively speaking, Verlorene Form suggests dissolution, disintegration and thus the loss of structure, order and security. What is left when a form deteriorates or only exists as in fragments?” Text by Petra Noll-Hammerstiel.
