This publication is part of Natascha Süder Happelmann’s artistic contribution for the German Pavilion and was released in May on the occasion of the opening. Comprising a series of texts, drawings and photographs, it deals with unstable forms and possibilities of survival, tumultuous self-organisation, resistance and commoning in what could be called ruinous spaces: spaces that have created conditions or actualities that are irreversible or irreparable.

Cos’è la performatività del libro? Cercare il movimento della performance all’interno del libro e allo stesso tempo fuori da esso, disconoscerne la qualità di oggetto finito perché il libro non sia mai un fine ma solo un passaggio. A partire da o verso la forma libro, pensarne la performatività può significare capire come il processo di traduzione preveda alcuni codici nascosti e riveli alcune formule segrete in grado di dissolvere schematismi rigidi in processi sempre più fluidi, oppure rimettere in discussione i ruoli, i tempi di attivazione e gli spazi di relazione che portano alla realizzazione del libro stesso.

In June 2009 Muammar Gaddafi and Silvio Berlusconi met in Rome to celebrate the Italy-Libya Treaty on Friendship, Partnership and Cooperation and discuss the Bilateral Agreements on migration and fuel trade. As the event sparked several protests, it caused a media frenzy in Italy that brought to the fore the controversial relations between the two countries. Attempting to turn an archive of live news updates produced during the meeting into a script, this performative lecture strives to dissect the memory of this event and the way it was reported.

manYdancing the digital ornament aims to reflect on what it means to form a collective body today, to activate and produce body knowledge through dance-like movement. The workshop and performance combine metropolitan body practices of the early 20th century with the crisis-like experiences of a present in which algorithmic governmentalities and biotechnologies molecularize bodies and translate them into data sets. We draw references to “epileptically dancing white European bodies” (dance rage and dance addiction) in the aftermath of the First World War and approach queer lines of subjectivity informed by blackness, femininity and class consciousness of post-slavery dance forms.

A public talk on the occasion of the exhibition by Katarina Sevic and Gergely Laszlo. With Hajnalka Somogyi / OFF-Biennale Budapest (HU) Agnieszka Polska & Janek Simon / Szalona Galeria (PL) and Andrej Mirčev, Berlin.
A troupe roves the streets of Budapest. They push in front of them a three-meter high egg-shaped, multiplayer megaphone. They stop at busy public squares to perform their play as a speaking choir about the transfiguration of a group of security guards. They are helped by the magical “talking egg” in which the voices reborn and amplify.
