Fluid is a Ultrasonic-speaker-installation with the words and sounds of thinkers, small sound makers, the wise neighbor, the grumpy guinea pig, and the speechless. Till the end of Aufwind the possiblity consists to send material of all characters to [email protected] or place on scene with the hope that the message will be understood.
“I place a grass stalk in the garden, next to it I set down a small lapdog, lets call him Rino and Rino is eating grass, he loves grass, he doesn’t like flowers. Next to the grass stalk I plant a flower, lets say a wild daffodil, maybe one or two daisies too. They withstand the weather and love, explains Rino. “Interspecies communication,” I think and stare at the grass stalk, waiting for a signal, analysing its growth, vibration behaviour with high-speed-infrared cameras, one or two weeks should be enough. My veins are pumping. My body doesn’t believe in body-soul dualism. The grass stalk stays silent, Rino insists on growing more grass, to create a suited analysation method. I draw off of the question of resource scarcity, a assignment for life, maybe not justifiable. What is with the other people, are they lost for words? Or is it enough for them to realise? I elevate to my autonomy, the daisies stare at me, I think I hear them laugh. My microbes laugh loudly as they get tickled by the music. They are grabbing onto the grass stalk. Where Where does deconstructive behaviour become violent? And where does it start to resonate and dance?
We want words, that continue to have an effect, that resonate. That do not get stuck in a cognitive bubble, that do not attribute to the violent monopoly and allow a better life not only to those chosen by birth, that count, count for all. All search for desire and happiness, the aspiration and dehierarchicalization of language. The revolutionizing body, that wants to dance but is banished in a deprived bubble. The anger, builds its path through the calisthenic poverty, and if it stops seeing the aesthetics, it’s captured by disgust, left on its own. The right to be misunderstood, the right to make mistakes, to be wrong, the right to a privilege of justice-security in the flowerbed and its fluctuating wheels and the time pushed in unison with the music, which could not care less about the boundaries of my patch. Acoustic community. I don’t want to see the future diaspora-communities in feudal bubbles. I want to be able to challenge myself to stay me, to borrow the awareness of Spivak and the energy of Sankara, the anger of Medeas, borrow the identity and use it up, borrow it again and use again. With laughing eyes, sometimes with a bad conscience and sometimes without.”
