In “Hard [F]acts”, an old sailcloth becomes the focus of occupation for two performers. The sailcloth is malleable and pliant: it is simultaneously a surface area and a volume, displaying motion and motionlessness and folds and curves, and becomes transformed into a moving sculpture. The performer DAVID POLLMANN finds an ideal partner in the architecture student and trained seaman SIMON MARIS for this performance which takes place in the external space between the Gallery and the Orangerie. The second performance invites us to turn our attention to our own boundary with the external world, our skin: as a go-between between worlds, an intermediary and our sensitive organ for relationships. This work takes a close look under the skin as if with a magnifying glass. The process of transformation as a fundamental principle of life forms the focal point of this work by STEFFI SEMBDNER.
