Виставка/Exhibition _2012 Вигляд експозиції: Eigen+Art Lab, Berlin /Installation view: Eigen+Art Lab, Berlin ________________________________________________________________________ Appropriated phrases (aus: Brecht, Bertolt: „Der gute Mensch von Sezuan: Parabelstück“) installation with 5 projections, pencil drawing on the wall, size variable  The viewer himself becomes a disturbing factor when following the logical way through the corridor of the exhibition space, manipulating, distorting and covering up the picture on the wall. The picture, in this case, consists of quotes out of Brecht’s parable-play The Good Person of Szechwan, a montage of two completely contrary narrative threads – the ulterior world of the Gods and the banal everyday life in a village in Szechwan. Brecht quotes stand as visual objects in the empty space, they only exist through the light of the projector and are destroyed by every viewer who faces them – and thereby alienated from their original sense. Only the speeches of the protagonists stay on the wall when projection shielded, as they are covered by pencil. Following the Brechtian Verfremdungseffekt I use estrangement to interrupt the familiar image, to destroy an illusion, and to draw the attention away from the story told but towards the observation of the means of telling and constructing it.
The phrases projected (the bold parts are the projected phrases covered by pencil):
SUN, ironically: What do you hope to hear?
THE OLD MAN: We`d better go. They wander wearily on.
Enter the unemployed man. THE UNEMPLOYED MAN: We`re not missing much. They wait.
Pause. THE POLICEMAN: That is a great pity.
They swiftly disappear.

While the images were previously composed of scenes of protests and riots taken from the media, overlaid by naturalistic views of nature in the work Constructing the new landscape, the full image is now only partially predetermined by the room-sized wall Incomplete drawing on the top half and ceiling and completed on the bottom by the person of the viewer and his position within the space. Instead of simply trying to activate the viewer to think about the figures in the work and he gets involved in the work by becoming part of it and directly affects its outcome. більше фотографій експозиції/more images of the exposition Constructing the new landscape 1-11, 2012 pencil drawing on inkjet print, sheet: 80 x 100 cm, image: 49,5 x 70 cm ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Photo: Uwe Walter, Berlin Constructing the new landscape (video), 2012 DVD, 5 min, loop ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________courtesy the artist and Galerie EIGEN + ART Leipzig/Berlin Was shown on: THE SCHOOL OF KYIV.
