Rotation 5 (wind directions) performance in public space during the month of May.
I never ask myself questions about the psychological or political effect of my work, but since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, I see my performances with the wind directions as metaphorical for unlimited physical and mental space: freedom. One of those works is Rotation 5 from the series Spirals and Rotations which came in being after my meetings with Sufi’s in Istanbul in 2015: I slowly rotate on my axis, calling out the words north, east, south, west when passing those directions. During following rotations I call out the names of the four wind directions in (till now) 60 other languages. I intend to perform Rotation 5 on various locations, spread in time over the month of may. Therefore I asked art centres and institutes to suggest a spot or location in their surroundings, including a possible period or day in May for the performance. Rotation 5 now covers 60 languages and it takes 30 minutes to call out all the words. Despite the fact that the work can take place anywhere, I now looked especially for outside locations which, although open for public, also have a sort of concentration due to acoustics, measurements or built environment, like for instance a courtyard, a small square or garden. The performance can take place in the day or in the evening and does not require any preparation or technical support: there is only my voice, speaking or calling out. From the responses I made a performance schedule: may 5 Museum garden Hulst 13.15 cur. Paul Cornelis Hulstart 7 Garden Tante Nino r'dam 17.00 cur.
