Genullt (2014), performance

The series of video-pictograms Genullt I-VII (Nullified I-VII) (2013) observe the building blocks of contemporary social relations in an ultra-reduced fashion.  Some of these spots are reassembled in the performance Genullt (2014) in the context of TFPM. As if in an elementary course of social geometry, three actors practice an array of mechanical gestures ranging from unfriendliness to hostility without any sign of involvement or affect. Rather than leading to solidarity and cooperation, the small-group dynamics here just seems to mirror abstract economical, juridical and ideological modes of relation dominant in capitalist societies at large. Thus it is precisely on those levels of abstraction that the piece urges the viewers to reinvent post-socialist kindness by strategically depriving them of it.

Displaying the uniqueness and seriality of body actions in a revolutionary climate, these images are actualized by the performers’ real-time and recorded movements, gestures and speech.
