APTTTHNTDWEA (About Putting Things Together That Have Nothing To Do With Each Other)

This video essay is part of the long term collaborative research project Distribution of the Sensible (Blind Mix), curated by myself. DOTS (Blind Mix) is an experiment in the form of a long-term collaboration between seven artists in response to the text 'The Politics of Aesthetics: The Distribution of the Sensible" by Jacques Ranciere.

Also If You Would Not Make a Manifest "Work"

This "request" was part of an email sent to me by Doreen Mende, the curator of the research project Travelling Communique where this video essay is part of. The project is informed by the idea that the collective statement articulated as a call for a new kind of internationalism by the 25 delegates of the first Conference of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Belgrade, September 1961, remains unanswered. Travelling Communique enquires into the possibilities of 'prolonging' the formation of the NAM into the social conditions of the present. The NAM can be understood as a third space of emancipation that sought to unsettle the bipolar world order through a wide variety of anti-colonial thinking. The Travelling Communique is an attempt to understand the process of becoming a political subject, initiated by those without names whose voices exist despite the efforts to silence them.

No'ing Me No'ing You Aha

This lecture performance is about simultaneous realities and the possibility of having no hierarchies. This video lecture is a composition of different people i.e. artists, musicians and friends who talk about these issues. I intervene the video by blowing a recorder every time the words 'I' or 'me' come up. I also throw marshmallows against the screen every time a human being appears. In the back of the space a bubble machine blows bubbles against the audience.

Tegen een toch al bebloede muur kapotgooien (Smash Against an Already Bloodied Wall)

Part of the text of this lecture performance: "If there is no boundary between me and you, between then and now, there is no reason not to right now bring all dead children back to life and smash them against an already bloodied wall. If there is no criterion, then it makes no sense that I stand here talking and you are sitting there watching me as raped Jewess who did it themselves. You should stop trying to understand me! It is the same mechanism that nasty, stinking emancipational thinking from which all the rotten stinking nigger baby corpses which our history is rich, will revenge us into our fear of that place, that moment where time and space no longer can protect us."
