Live performance: Dorothea Rust and Andrea Saemann:
Afterwards we go to a live performance in the outdoor space by Dorothea Rust and Andrea Saemann «Null Komma». The two artists refer to an existing performance, a silent parallel plot with liquids that they reinterpret. The unbroken presentation of masculinity and speechlessness at the same time provoked this work.
