Performing the City: The Seven Step Verse (2022), a Film in 360° VR by Ella Raidel
When? From June 17, 2023 / 5 PM
Available to view by appointment at VR Escape Room Traunkirchen 2023-2024.
The documentary VR work explores the relationship between space and body in Singapore’s iconic modernist shopping malls in seven scenarios. The “seven-step verse” is inspired by the Chinese poet Cao Zhi, who believed that a poem in seven verses showed wit, speed and creativity. The performers occupy the shopping centers, appropriating clothes and gestures as they pass by and reciting texts – thus pointing out the underlying ideological and social hierarchies.
Vernissage at Cafe Johannsberg, Traunkirchen. More info here!
