Staging a Possible Encounter (Where does the Script come From?)
Performance
Duration variable
2023
In Staging A Possible Encounter (Where does the Script come From?) strangers are instructed to meet at a specific time and place and introduce themselves. They have the possibility to tell the truth, invent themselves as characters or to mix real facts about their identity with fiction.
The performance addresses the construction of the self in a defined context of social interaction, staging the act of presenting oneself in a spatial and temporal frame. Thus giving participants the possibility to challenge their fixed and usual storyline.
A project made in the course
ORIGINAL COPY
ORIGINAL COPY is devised as a space where participants question the meaning of an ‘original’ and its ‘copy’ in contemporary art by exploring various practices of reproduction, copying, and remaking, as well as examining their power as active gestures and critical interpretations to arrive to a ‘new original’. What reproduction modes and techniques are available nowadays to an artist? What is the meaning of ‘original’ in the historical moment we are living in and what is its relationship to authenticity? What is a copy and what is a ‘new original’?
