Installation
at Studiobühne Ritterstrasse by Ladyfest 2007

video

An itinerant installation uses WCs as platforms for exchanges among(st) cultures. The walls are empty to be used for written thoughts of anyone using the facility. A television showing a video from the last installation and what is written on the wall is the source for the sound: the act of writing is recorded and the result is processed. In the first installation the video is made of transparent templates for Chinese characters, which will allude to the last place of installation, China. For the next installation, the video will report the previous installation, using the messages as sources for new video and audio material, and so one. Going into the WC installation, people from different countries and cultures can experience intimate thoughts about each other. After the installation reaches the final station in China, a video will display all of the videos at the same time on a big screen.
