The Other Life

Per­for­mance

31 Octo­ber, 1 and 2 Novem­ber 2024, 07:30 pm

ARTIST AT RESORT | TERM 24
Tanz*Hotel | Resort 1020 Stu­dios at Zirkus­gasse 35, 1020 Vien­na

In his per­for­mance, Matthias Moll­ner deals with the real­i­ty of life of chron­i­cal­ly seri­ous­ly ill peo­ple who are often invis­i­ble or made invis­i­ble in soci­ety. Based on per­son­al expe­ri­ences — his part­ner suf­fers from a severe form of the mul­ti­sys­tem dis­ease ME/CFS — Moll­ner devel­ops a work that delves into the exis­ten­tial dimen­sion of the top­ic. The dark sides of life such as suf­fer­ing, iso­la­tion and dying are revealed, as are the strength, dreams and hopes of those affect­ed and their rel­a­tives.

As part of the Par­al­lel art fair the “Black Ferk Stu­dio” show the work of five artists who deal with the dark side of human exis­tence and address taboo top­ics such as ill­ness and death. Two of these artists are them­selves affect­ed by mul­ti­sys­tem dis­eases such as ME/CFS and work with some­times severe phys­i­cal lim­i­ta­tions, e.g. bedrid­den­ness or severe neu­ro­log­i­cal symp­toms. 

Fur­ther infor­ma­tion about our con­tri­bu­tions can be found on the Par­al­lel web­site. There you can also pur­chase the exhib­it­ed works of art direct­ly online.
