the project and its time
video, HD, 8'20'', loop
2021
Documentation
as a fetish. By means of documentation, the spectacle is deprived of
exclusivity by its time and space limitation. Accessibility explodes, the
content of the spectacle collapses. It doesn't matter as long as it is
documented. The documentation becomes the spectacle. The video work documents this.
Created as part of the collective work The Project and its Time (3-channel video installation, sliding and revolving door, GoPro camera, leaflet) on the Wiener Festwochen symposium topic Unpredictable Time(s).
A festival is designed time. Past and future culminate in the present of the festival. How does the festival of the future relate to the time economy of a society? How does it define contemporaneity? Once upon a time, the festival as a temporary event opposed the established institutions with the time frame of experimental projects. But if project culture itself develops into a dominant format, can the festival's narrative be maintained as an institution-critical corrective?
