Gordon Matta-Clark setzte sich Asbest, Säuren und Industrieabfällen aus. Er kämpfte sich ja mit Motorsägen durch Fassaden, Decken und Böden von Gebäuden aus den 20er- bis 50er-Jahren. Seine Witwe bestreitet allerdings, dass sein Tod 1978, mit 35 Jahren, etwas damit zu tun hat.

Possession; dir. by Andrzej Żuławski in 1981
To please the majority is the requirement of the Planet Cinema. As far as I'm concerned, I don't make a concession to viewers, these victims of life, who think that a film is made only for their enjoyment, and who know nothing about their own existence.
Hoffnung ist nur ein Mangel an Information.

Inwiefern kann Choreographie heute als eine verbreitete gesellschaftliche Praxis gesehen werden?

People who believe they'll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, learn it doesn't work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.

And sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in.

Mutters Maske, inszeniert von Christoph Schlingensief in 1987/88
The spaces of memory are wonderfully elastic; like cinema […] they can dilate and take in vast panoramas, or compress the focus to a close-up, a beloved room or a window, when time itself seems to slow down and stand still.

To feel. To trust the feeling. I long for that.
