Single Channel video for Projection | 03:09
The video depicts pedestrian traffic on a busy shopping street (Kudamm’), where the space has been erased, creating the image of a hybrid public body as walkers mingle.
The sound component of the piece is composed of a series of texts read aloud and layered in a similar process to the images. The source of the text is the result of transcribing all linguistic fragments within the site where the filming took place.
Plurinaming / Polyphony
The practice of multiple naming began in 2001 as a by-product of physical displacement, and as an adaptive game in negotiating foreign cultural/linguistic contexts. The name is acquired after a period of acquaintanceship with a “local”, and as a gift, cannot be refused or negotiated. Names are not an alias, but rather a compounding of the original name, as such they are notated as follows:
Pia Fuchs deutsche Identität von Patricia Reed.
