Tris Vonna Michel

Project Kaufhaus Joske, Leipzig

In his performances, a profusion of words and sentences flows from his mouth at breakneck speed. A year or a street name is occasionally loosens itself from the stream and becomes audible. What we hear are interim results, fragments of an investigation of specific places, of their histories and their particular stories. His work is about the problem of wanting to understand the past that has begotten us yet not being able to tell the one valid story of this past. His form of oral narration involves a unique assimilation of diverse points in time and perspectives in the combination of private and political history, fact and fiction. Tris Vonna-Michell's pieces are a priori unfinished works. Individual details vary according to the place and time of the performance and are as such in permanent flux. The project "Leipzig Calender Works" began with a sojourn and accompanying research in Leipzig in 2005 and will now be continued upon his return.
