Roi Vaara performs at bb5
Below the Surface
a performance by Roi Vaara (FI)
As part of the collaborative project Opening Hours U-TURN Quadrennial and the 5th berlin biennial (bb5) presents a 2 1/2 hour performance by Roi Vaara, who is known worldwide for his humoristic and existential performances. Spectators are free to come and go during the performance.
In Below the Surface the blindfolded performer washes white T-shirts in water, which colours them red. He hangs them to dry on clotheshorses. The dripping water colours the floor. A special live reading, which consists of lists of words collected by the artist since 2001, will accompany the performance. After the performer has filled all the clotheshorses with the coloured T-shirts he turns on the lights. This performance can be viewed as a comment on history already written in the 21st century.
