GEGENDARSTELLUNG
Performance . Installation . Konzert
4./5./6. und 8./9./10. Juni 2010, 20 Uhr, Sophiensaele, Berlin-Mitte
Während die VeranstalterInnen der bevorstehenden Fußball-WM kraft der Medien ein weitgehend widerspruchsfreies Bild des Gastgeberlandes zu verbreiten suchen, hinderte die raue gesellschaftliche Wirklichkeit die LOSE COMBO 2008 bei einem Südafrika-Aufenthalt mancherorts sogar daran, Bildmaterial für ihre künstlerische Arbeit zu sammeln. Eindrückliche Fremderfahrungen jenseits des touristischen Mainstreams, verblüffende Begegnungen und verstörende Erlebnisse sind deshalb allein aus der Erinnerung gespeiste Tatsachenbehauptungen geblieben. Ihnen geht GEGENDARSTELLUNG jetzt auf den Grund.
GEGENDARSTELLUNG ist eine Re-Visualisierung zersprengter Erfahrungen mit Hilfe entwendeter Massenmedienbilder, ist polyphones Geflecht aus freien musikalischen Improvisationen, Erinnerungsberichten und Reflexionen, dem via Skype aus Kapstadt, Johannesburg, Zürich, Amsterdam oder Sylt zugeschaltete „Südafrika-ExpertInnen“ ihren aktuellen Stempel aufdrücken.
Im Foyer ist das Video CiTi lives (2009) von Ulric Roldanus (NL) zu sehen, das durch die äußerste Zurücknahme des Dokumentierenden ein multiples Selbstportrait Kapstadts und seiner Einwohner zeichnet.

GEGENDARSTELLUNG (COUNTERSTATEMENT)
Performance . Installation . Concert
4./5./6. and 8./9./10. June 2010, 8 pm, Sophiensaele, Berlin-Mitte
While the organizer of the forthcoming FIFA World Cup try to convey a largely consistent and harmonious picture of the host country in the media, the harsh social reality prevented the LOSE COMBO during their stay in South Africa from collecting visual material for their art work in a number of places.
Impressive experiences of alienness far from tourism mainstream, astounding encounters and disturbing incidents have therefore remained asserted facts only fed by memory. GEGENDARSTELLUNG (COUNTERSTATEMENT) now tries to get to the bottom of them.
GEGENDARSTELLUNG is a re-visualization of fragmented experiences with the help of purloined mass media images, it is a polyphonic network of free musical improvisation, memoranda and reflections on which “South-Africa Specialists” attending via Skype from Cape Town, Johannesburg, Zurich, Amsterdam or Sylt will put their up-to-date mark on.
In the foyer the video CiTi lives (2009) by Ulric Roldanus (NL) will be shown which by complete withdrawal of the chronicler himself depicts a multiple self-portrait of Cape Town and its inhabitants.
