D.D. in the Year 0000

 

D.D. was a famous woman,
or
D.D. was a decent man,
or
D.D. was a child of mischief,
or
D.D. was an old man with kerchief.

D.D. was a whispering troll,
or
D.D. had a gaping hole,
or
D.D. invented the wall,
or
D.D. always wished she was tall.

D.D. had the soul of a rabbit,
or
D.D. filled his life with habits.

 

D.D. in the Year 0000 ist entweder jemand oder niemand. Es ist alles wahr oder
alles gelogen. Sollte die Welt von vorne beginnen, was würden wir mit der
damit einhergehenden Formbarkeit - der Identität, der Geschichte, der
Örtlichkeit - anfangen? Wenn die gefestigten Vorgaben nicht mehr gelten, was
können wir bewahren, was wird vergehen?

Dies ist ein neues Projekt entwickelt aus den Überresten von Objekten und Graffitis aus dem Kunstraum Weißes Haus Argentinierstraße.

 

D.D. in the Year 0000 is either a somebody or a nobody. It is all true, or none of
it is. If the world were to reset, what would we do with the resulting malleability
– of identity, history, and locale? When all reinforcements are gone, what can
we keep, and what will blow away?

This is a new project developed from the residual objects and graffiti of the
Weisses Haus Argentinierstrasse site.
