Berlin (10 Nov. 1974 – 28 Jan. 1975) – Übungen in neun Stücken: Unter dem Wasser schlafen und Dinge sehen, die sich in weiter Ferne abspielen, 1974/75
Documentation of eight performances with an epilogue
Touching the walls with both hands simultaneously
Blinking
Feathers dance on the shoulders
Keeping hold of those unfaithful legs
Two little fish remember a dance
Rooms meet in mirrors
Shedding skin between moist tongue leaves
Cutting one’s hair with two pairs of scissors simultaneously
When a woman and her lover lie on one side looking at each other, and she twines her legs around the man’s legs with the window wide open, it is the oasis
with Rebecca Horn, Guido Kerst, Lisa Liccini, Otto Sander, Veruschka von Lehndorff, Michel Würthle
Music: Hayden Chisholm
Production: Helmut Wietz
