Architektonische Psychodramen

There is not one but many, a kind of memory scenario that has made itself up out of a spatial perception as there was no other understanding available. Performing a speech while drawing into space, while singing the lines of a forgotten song. The song had to be forgotten in order to refresh its tunes. The contradictions of readdressing while inventing a fictive memory. A play forgetting its scenario, although everybody is playing in it. Memory becomes a leftover which is asking to be performed. Composition becomes the issue.
 

Sushan Kinoshita’s show at P/////AKT marks the fifth and last part of the exhibition program Am I an Object. It will be responded to in writing and an event by students from the Sandberg Institute Critical Studies Department.

Intrigued by the time-based element of video, Tessa Langeveld creates moments that slowly unfold as a fragmentary narrative – the act of making is not in the choice of the subject, but in the choice of the meaningful moment. Langeveld graduated from AKI (Enschede) in 2020.

It started with a hole in a stone, worked in by the sea water over time. A material associated with hardness, stability, steadiness, is persistently eroded by something soft and flexible. This process isn’t visible, but can be recognised by the presence of the hole (or by the signifier O) as its current state.
