I-COPY JULIA KLÄRING

WEDNESDAY – FEBRUARY 10th – 2010
9.00 PM (GMT + 1)
LIVE BROADCAST ON HTTP://WWW.PERFORMANCESEASON.COM/

CATEGORY: REENACTMENT PERFORMANCE

the video performance series I-copy consists of copying texts by interlining them with a handwritten version of the page’s content – directly inside the respective magazine or book
the act is recorded on video; another trace of the performance is left inside the book itself
in I-copy #2 – kläring reproduces random excerpts of speeches by emma goldman by using the method of interlining existing texts by a handwritten copy
these documents from an earlier live event are examined extensively and in very detail
failure and fatigue appear in the copy – handwriting gets unreadable; the act of repetition contains inherent potential for change
this work is part of a deep research on performance’s relation to image – language and objects
