Fall Actions / Group Exhibition / Between Points / Berlin (2018)

Fall Action is an open project consisting of professional stunt performers standing or walking at several locations scattered around the public space at differing moments, and collapsing on themselves, as if suffering from sudden loss of consciousness. Subsequent to their fall, they remain for some time on the ground, inanimate.

Fall Action displays the sudden and dramatic full stop of one’s body and the enigmatic aura surrounding the situation.

Blurring the line that separates art and life, the action vividly merges with its surroundings, unannounced nor officially communicated, resulting in a possibly improvised dialogue between the faller and members of the public, who unknowingly become actors in the scene as the rescuers.

For “Between Points”, three unannounced Fall Action(s) will take place at various locations on the river bank, each enacted by a different stunt performer, synchronized with the passage of the boat during its tour.

With live performances by Ed Atkins, Juliette Blightman, Stephanie Comilang, Petrit Halilaj & Alvaro Urbano, Jessie Holmes, Tarren Johnson, Sebastian Lütgert a.k.a Robert Luxemburg, Xavier Mazzarol, Reto Pulfer and Günter Schickert.
