Shedhalle Art Space / BREAK / a re-enactment / Viki Semou (DAI, 2010)

| tag: Tübingen

When: Saturday 08.06.13, @18.00
Where: Shedhalle, Schlachthausstr. 13, Tübingen, Germany

'Break' is a project that will unfold in 3 events. The first one will be presented as part of the Artist in Residence program of the Shedhalle art space in Tübingen.
It consists of a re-enactment of a moment in the life of the artist's grandmother. A moment of a rupture in her everydayness. A moment that evolves into a personal ritual.

And if one asked her, longing to pin down the moment with date and season, but what were you doing on the fifth of April 1868, or the second of November 1875, she would look vague and say that she could remember nothing. For all the dinners are cooked; the plates and cups washed; the children sent to school and gone out into the world. Nothing remains of it all. All has vanished. No biography or history has a word to say about it. And the novels, without meaning to, inevitably lie.  [Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own ]
