Vertraute Distanz
2014/15
Vertraute Distanz: Ein installatives Organ / Claudia and Benjamin Tomasi. A dance performance piece.
Entering the space the spectator is confronted with a situation recalling that of an art exhibition in a gallery space and its dynamics of moving audiences. The installation *=/- by Benjamin Tomasi (2011) is displayed in the space. This version of Vertraute Distanz – Ein installatives Organ is part of a series of attempts by the siblings Benjamin and Claudia Tomasi to deal with the presence of the installation *=/- on stage. It is about the possible incorporations of the installation and its inherent levels of meaning.
The installation evokes the image of a horizon, which is in permanent but minimal motion of expansion and contraction; it deals with the collective memory of a horizon. The performance in turn hints at hidden narratives and relations that manifest on stage. Both the installation and the performance represent a projection surface (a screen) that allows the viewer to link their own experiences and systems of reference.
Vertraute Distanz operates through allusions, by means of latency, and on the threshold of perception. It is the first collaboration between Claudia and Benjamin Tomasi towards an inter junction between their different artistic disciplines.
