Anti-Autobiographical III


Anti-Autobiographical III is the third performance from the „Anti-Autobiographical“ series and a visual response to a strong exposed position in a shopping mall, in between other shopping windows, customized minds and expectations. It follows the question of per-constructed conventions and conditions we take for granted; like rituals, collective memories or social obligations (like eating behaviors for example).

Course: I enter the space and sit down on a plinth. After few moments I start to touch my bread-head. Slowly I start to place small branches and leaves around my head and in the bread. Thereby my hands become rather a construction tool. After I finished placing the wood, I light a candle and place my right hand under the bread in front of my mouth. Slowly I push it towards the candle until it completely falls apart. Now and through the opening of my mouth, I pull out a wooden toy bird and cloud. I leave the plinth, stand in the middle of the shopping window, take of the bread-brunch head and leave the space.
