Simon Baumann
Die Offenbarung des Momentums

2023 | HKB | ACT Bern

Before entering the space, the members of the audience have to set a 15mn timer on their phones. As the audience enters the space, the performer is on the stage, sitting on the floor with a overhead projector. At the front of the stage, a stand microphone. The performer writes live on plastic sheets, on the overhead projector. The performers writes the present moment : what Simon hears, what Simon thinks, what Simon feels. The writing of the performer sometimes interacts with the public’s reaction. The performer writes until the alarms on the phones of the members of the audience ring. It’s a concerto of ring tones. The performer then stands up and gathers the plastic sheets. The performer reads the writings at the microphone.
