“Caravan, New Men”, 2014

by Balthazar Berling and Lukas Hoffmann at Titanik Gallery, Finland; 35 min; silk scarf, plastic cord, metal wire, sound, chairs, drinks.

The performance focuses on how men interact with others. Drawing from a video in which father and son remove a bumper sticker together, the performance checks their behaviour towards each other. The two performers present the two male characters from the clip and put their approach to life on view. Before its actual end the performance fades into a conversation with the audience in which the responses of individuals towards the actions of others are discussed.
