Hannes Egger - The artist is absent – perform yourself

About the presence and absence of artist and audience

The concept artist Hannes Egger provides the opportunity for the visitors to present and perform themselves within the frame of the work The Artist is Absent - Perform Yourself. The artist provides the framework for this. The stage is made up of three makeshift partition walls with curtains, a kind of dressing room, an almost intimate room with one and a half meters of length at each side. Brief instructions on index cards provide a possible framework for action. However, it is up to the visitor whether he remains a spectator, whether he follows the instructions or improvises an action according to his own ideas. The presence of Eggers himself is not required, only that of a deputy who introduces the interested parties to the game and accompanies the performative process.

What do I give, what do I hold?
Between wall and screen.
Between expression and withdrawal.
Projections around us.


During the three weeks in Krastal, Sigrid Friedmann and Ulrich Kaufmann want to find out what they are prepared to reveal: in pictures, texts, scanned body surfaces and externally projected inner life. Friedmann and Kaufmann introduce themselves. In front of the light sources and behind the projections. What happens? what reflects? what remains invisible? what is hidden? Am I shadow? Wall? Reflector?

Zwischen kantigem Witz und leiser Poesie

Der experimentelle Film entspringt den Zauberkabinetten neugieriger, ehrgeiziger Heimwerker: Hubert Sielecki macht seit Jahrzehnten das Konventionen strapazierende Basteln zur Kunstform. Wer wie er handwerkliche Techniken ausreizt, oftmals wie neu erfindet, dem gelten Gattungsgrenzen wenig.

Marmorkuchen, Stein und Eisen bricht

Es ist die aalglatte Ästhetik der Konsumgüter, eine scheinbar unendliche Verfügbarkeit des ewig Gleichen… Und dabei doch auch das Moment des Imperfekten, das selbst millionenfach gefertigten Massenprodukten innewohnt. Der meist sehr geringe Materialwert der Dinge prägt einen vorsätzlichen Wegwerfcharakter.
