COAT PERFORMANCE

The performance took place at the Kunstraum Niederösterreich in 2016. The performers were given prior instructions to formulate their beliefs – both negative and positive – and write one of them on the coat. Beliefs are sentences that have a strong meaning for a particular person. Many of them come from childhood and – consciously or unconsciously – determine a person’s behavior or attitude. It is quiet in the room, while one person, or sometimes two at the same time, is writing Finally the coat is covered with many different beliefs. The coat is dropped and the performance is over.
