Real Time (2004)

Echtzeit (Onomato, Düsseldorf)

This work was performed together with artist Sandra Schmidt behind the windows of the Onomato gallery in Düsseldorf. After an overnight stay, an alarm clock going off marked the beginning of the performance on June 20th at 7 a.m.. From this moment on, each of us used a computer keyboard to document as much of our immediate thoughts as possible. No word was spoken inside the gallery. The texts appeared on screens behind the windows facing the street, visible only from the outside. Once a piece of text was typed it was virtually impossible to alter it. Passers-by were able to compare the texts each of us produced. The performance ended after 24 hours.
