NOTES:
"-cycling. one
day when we first went walking we heard the sound of a drill and a bag
was blowing along the ground. A piece for voice and things." - Christian
Kesten
Kesten's performance uses plastic and paper bags, photos and speaking
voice as instruments. At first hidden in pockets, daypack and a suitcase,
the bags slowly appear, one after another, forming an image of an ever-changing
object in Diapason's exhibition space, and with each new bag the constellation
changes. From time to time a voice speaks, telling true stories from a
journey through Japan. The performance will generate a "crackling"
installation: wind and atmosphere continue to move, unfold, and change
the bags. Words by Christian Kesten, Kim Kutner, Lao-tzu and Peace Memorial
Museum, Hiroshima.
