Vendredi 29 mai, 18h / Vrijdag 29 mei, 18u / Friday 29th of May, 6pm
Installation by Stefanie Seibold and film by Doris Lasch / Ursula Ponn

Doris Lasch and Ursula Ponn' s 8 super-8 projections is based on
the staging of small, almost insignificant gestures, which create a
pattern of repeated actions. Their work does not reveal any link
between the presentation of actions and expressionism of the gesture,
any emphasis on attitude. Quite the opposite, the strategy of repeating
cyclically calls up the memory of the dance, the minimal - defining the
paradox of triggering a latent perversity in the minimalness. 
The performance by Stefanie Seibold with Tara Casey starts with a video
that shows a fragmented view on an all-woman club scene, and continues
with a rap-version of a theory text performed by the Brussels based
performer Tara Casey about the (im)possibility of a female gaze. The
performance is a meditation on sameness and difference (on the
explosive differences in assumed sameness) and on the passions filmic
identification can unleash when an image surrenders to its afterimage.
