>> Montage in Now-Time: Pause
A working group lead by Anna Zett in the frame work of the series Critical Dramaturgy: Pause
Friday, October 9 (4 – 7 PM) + Saturday, October 10 (10:30 AM – 1:30 PM), at the Academy of Fine Arts (Slava Raškaj building).
The evening before the working group the tarot card “#1 Die Gestalt/ The Figure” was first presented as part of a lecture by Anna Zett: Montage as association: ways to figure it out, Thu, 6 to 8 pm at the Academy of Fine Arts.
During the following two days, the card release continued as an open group process.
About the Working Group
“In this two-day working group the participants will dip into the open, uncontrollable process of interpersonal figuration: a social form of montage. Becoming a group is an incredibly complex process, since it involves everyone’s continuous effort to integrate multiple layers of time: fresh sensory input with episodic memory, feelings we have learned to rely on, old social patterns, recent personal wishes, expectations, as well as spontaneous interpersonal associations, that could only arise in this particular constellation. (…)
Visual and conceptual anchor for the working group, that includes somatic practices, dialog, writing, imagination and emergent social choreography, will be my modernist tarot deck adaptation System in Crisis, themed around the Weimar Republic, which has been in development since 2016 and is currently being released card by card. In particular, the working group serves as an extended release occasion for trump card #1 Die Gestalt (The Figure, formerly The Magician), showing the performance artist Valeska Gert on a black background, as she was depicted on a press photo for her undocumented performance piece Pause.”
Sessions will be held in English.
The working group is a collaboration between Kurziv – Platform for Matters of Culture, Media and Society, the Croatian Screenwriters and Playwrights Guild, and the Department of New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts.
