"in china fällt ein reissack um und keiner kümmert sich darum" 2004
performance
30min ,100_ Berlin, Hebbel am Ufer 3, Berlin, Germany/Hefei, China

The performance takes place simultaneously in Berlin and in Hefei. The German proverb (“A sack of rice falls over in China and nobody cares about it”) is literally transformed into reality. In Berlin the audience experiences an empty room with a signal lamp installed in its middle and loud minimal electronic music. The audience has been given the information that the lamp will be switched on at the very moment a sack of rice falls over in China. A Chinese performer makes the sack of rice (25 kg) fall over and at the same time gives a signalto the performer in Berlin, whereupon the lamp is switched on and the music is turned off. A chance generator determines the exact moment of the fall.

A score of 100 performances is carried out by performer 1 in different places,
in- and outdoors. A photograph is taken of each performance. The 100 pictures are given as a photo-score to the next performer with the instruction to repeat the performances as exactly as possible. Performer 2 passes his 100 pictures on to performer 3 and so on. In the end, performer 1 uses the photo-score of performer 9 to perform once more, thus concluding the circle.

amok #2 2002
performance

50 min, gallery rosinski, Berlin, Germany

A black Fiat Panda had been placed in the centre of the gallery. It has been filled
with white balloons containing liquid soap.
I use a crowbar to smash the car, the balloons burst and the soap spills all over the floor. The performance ends
when I have caused all the damage on the car that I can. Via loudspeaker, the audience can hear the speaking clock of the German Telecom continuously announcing the actual time for the duration of the performance.
