PERFORMATIVE EXPERIMENT

Two performers, a chainsaw and six wooden chairs.

The experiment focuses on the relationship between humans, technology, and the creative and destructive potential of tools. The central part of the experimental set-up is a chainsaw. Several wooden chairs are placed in the room and are constantly rearranged. In this ever-changing constellation, one can reflect on power relations while the potentiality of the chainsaw is explored; not knowing if and when the moment of destruction has come.
