The procession is a form of collective com-muting, while muting, as a derivate of the Latin mutare, holds notions of motion and transformation. A process manifests in procession. Procession is first of all a progressive, continuous form, as growing, eating, dying, and its pathways meander mostly in the horizontal, rather than shooting up the vertical, as we, children of progress, might be used to look for.
As I said, it is less about making it as fast as possible from A to B, because B does not wave with any award or trophy. One may rather pay attention to the single steps that will form the character of the connection between the two places. That every step is a fall has already been said. Consequently, walking together could be considered as falling together. Walking-falling entails that we never exactly know, where we will land, in part because our affections are strong and unforeseeable.
Who, by the way, falls in the literal sense, and falls “well”, will most probably roll over her or his side, thereby describing with their body the curved line of a spiral. Between A and B there are countless arrival and departure points, shallows and lookouts.
Concept & choreography: Johanna Ackva | Dance: Nicole Wendel, Inbar Kubi, Anna Jarrige, Johanna Faber, Margaux Marielle-Tréhouart | Trombone: Saskia Marleen Dahms | Trumpet: Sebastian van Vugt | Photos © Billie Sara Clarken, Berlin Art Institute and the artists.
thank you for all the food that I have received in my life happened as part of Project Space Festival and within that of FLOAT/ING, an exhibition at the project space VERY, curated by Gislind Köhler, Alexandra Bialas and Anna Zett.
