Declarations – Monument for Nonsense by Julia Prezewowsky - 18th - 27th April 2008
An exaggerated speech podium is transformed into a platform for a week long repeated performance. In both Helsinki and Berlin a performance will take place at exactly the same time, during which urban myths, gossip and rumours will be publicly declared and authorised. The piece undertakes the absurd attempt to synchronise the two performances and certify the myths, as well as drawing attention to our desire for chronology and truth in these tales.
