TWIN SPOTS
– eine audiovisuelle site-specific Performance –
two spots
flickering lights
in the background
heads
protruding from the earth
two pairs of eyes
that see nothing
harmonic
in the twilight
they stay
on one place
two spots
In a cool, gloomy room, a wall glows. Industrial sounds set the air vibrating. Silhouette(s) emerge(s) from a shaft in the floor. A foot, hands and finally (two) heads, including the corresponding body(ies).
A game of identity(s) begins. The (two) bodies move in unison, mirror each other, take a seat (on the edge of the pool) and plunge headlong back into the (imagined) water as if in slow motion.
Finally the umbilical cord breaks. Suddenly (individual)?
