Installation

The artspace "Ex Teresa" is situated in a secularized baroque church, which leans heavily sideways
due to the uneven subsoil.

We connect two exhibition rooms lying on different levels due to this unevenness with a mobile ramp
of ten metres length.

The lighting of the rooms is linked to the ramp:
In the moment of stepping onto it, the light slowly merges from one room into the other.

Videodocumentation

Car drivers in Mexico-City are used to street traders offering goods and
services at traffic lights.

For the course of one whole day
we present a green sign to them during every red phase.

Performance

For the opening a performance is shown on this seesaw, dealing with the endeavour for
levelling out the slant and with the changing state of the light running along with it.

Inspired by a scene in a public bus, the performance thereby represents the cycle of a
wet rag back and fro from the edge of the performance surface to its middle:
a movement throwing everything off balance at last.

Photo

Through the large window of the room where we
watch performance-videos a man can be seen who
paints a niche, that has been coated black for the
last exhibition:

Nearly floating on a scaffold he balances
the roll on its long stick from the bucket on
the floor up into the remotest corner of the
niche.

Illuminated by two spots he helps his own
shadow to become visible by laying on the
white colour.
