Heine Røsdal Avdal & Yukiko Shinozaki / deepblue (B/N, B/J) Field Works – Hotel

49% performance 19% intimacy 29% installation 3% mini-bar

A hotel room as a place of searching for poetry in everyday life. In their very intimate and playful performances, the Japanese artist Yukiko Shinozaki and Norwegian artist Heine Avdal (who featured at steirischer herbst two years ago with “you are here”) create dream-like, absurd in-between worlds by means of subtle shifts in reality.
Only one visitor per performance is sucked into the mysterious past of this very ordinary hotel room: how many people have stayed here? What happened before we came in? Are we really alone, or can we hear the room breathing? Do we remain silent spectators, or do we play our role in a story?
