Installation / performance at brut Vienna
17. – 22. January 2023
brut nordwest, Nordwestbahnhstrasse 8 – 10, 1200 Vienna
Tattooing the Earth is a collective mapping developed by artist group Freundliche Mitte. It centres around the landscape as a mirror of ownership structures, democratic and anti-democratic spaces, as a place of remembrance and sedimentation. Conceived as a walk-in installation, Tattooing the Earth feels its way along the surface of the earth, through colliding plates and habitats. Through disappearance. The result is a non-linear narrative assembled from bits and pieces that is continued and rewritten together with accomplices. Which memory remains, which counts?
The performance will be framed by workshops and talks.
