>back to front<
read the title as a self-reflected instruction.

>back to front<
doesn’t give direction
comes full circle with feedback processes
and their eigenvalue.

Instead of an illusion of interactive performance the public is invited to log on to various
feedback-loops.

Conditionality on multiple layers: body as site. music as lens.
textual structures become light.

Is there another side to the subjective?
>back to front<

→back to front← was created in collaboration with the cellist Arnold Haberl (aka noid), performed at the Berio hall of the Konzerthaus Vienna and came full circle (as a critical circuit) with the audience’s feedback sent by email back to us after the performance, if they decided to get involved. Those lines we received were projected at the start of the next performance in the beginning section again with a nude body, breathing, fragments of text passing by in an eternal return(at least conceptually). This early work performed a nude body, but a bare attitude in terms of concept. There were long silences, and holds, that revealed the gap between you and I, between change manifesting over time and social negotiation taking place in space.
