Originating from a self-experiment - the limits of the body are not only tested, but pushed to the extreme. The experiment of tying oneself up as much as possible not only forces a perverse body posture, but is obviously an absurd, doomed-to-fail undertaking. The lightness of the adhesive tape contrasts with the permanent duplication of a simple wrapping movement, which thereby becomes a brutal act. Associative spaces remain open and the question of meaning remains enigmatic. This video performance "Tape" becomes an endless event with its redeeming built-in moments. Subsequently, the shape of the body was cast in plaster. Photo: Ismael Hutter
