Guilt I ?

HOLGER MAIK MERTIN // aLong-duration interactiveActivistutopiaSoundmover Performanceinstallation.

In this activist performance Holger Maik Mertin deals with the roles he finds himself in as German post-2nd World War citizen and as a(n alien white male ???) performer in South Africa. The interactive 36-hour performance focusses on getting (back) in touch with the basic elements of life - earth, wind, air, water, fire. For this occasion the AVA will be switched off electronically.

In „Guilt I?“ an analogue utopian space is being created upon the core of AVA’s architectural & artistic structure.

Walk in any time from the 17 & 18.06. 2022 from 12:00 to 23:59

Holger Maik Mertin’s 2022 Art Residency is funded by Kunststiftung NRW, German arts council.
