Vlado Repnik Gotvan: LUFTBALLETT – automatic performance

Luftballett is 21st century automatic art. The soap and the skin, possessing the fragility of fifty-seven light bodies, shall exceed the power of the avant-garde. It is a vulgar machine, and simultaneously the most genteel, visionary artistic con. A pure lie! The moment of silence being shallow and simple, it is fascinating due to its privileged insight into the anxious zone of light. This is the technology of liberation!

Soap&Skin, Igor Štromajer, Martina Ruhsam, David Cvelbar, Anja Plaschg, Lyano Cullen, Urša Ivanovič & Sky, John Cage, Jean-Luc Godard, Björk, Jernej Černologar, Valter Udovičić, Matjaž Čad, Robert Klančnik, Laurie Anderson, Stefan Doepner, Stuhl Orkester Trio + 57 ballet lighting bodies
