In
2003 we developed the first 25sec. project for Berlin. 25sec.–Berlin
developed from our interest in researching and contextualizing
the art
situation in Berlin at that time. We asked art and cultural
mediators to
discuss their goals in relation to Berlin and the art world.
In addition,
the participants were invited to support their statement by
an object with
the intention, to make a link to their discourse and context.
For the 25sec. premiere show at "guestroom" the
video-portraits were
presented alternating on two monitors. Each single portrait
and statement is
formatted in 25sec. slots. The monitor switch underlines the
shift from one
position to the other, even extends it into the gallery space.
Many Thanks to Rüdiger Lange,
