The live performance Augenmusik

has expanded into a homologue body of works, sharing the same title (2016/2021) incl. re-performances, videos, photographs, installation, print editions etc.

The performance took place as an unauthorized action in public space, during national lockdown for Covid-19, prohibiting all manifestations, artistic events and gatherings in public spaces.

Llegal, and financial risks, including the potential fines, for using police flashlights were covered by Netwerk Aalst (Be). Three performers silently depart from three symbolically selected starting points in Aalst holding blue flashing lights.
