Postupak

Questioning the concept of „social energy“ (as f.ex Rosa), Eissing is using interpersonal dialog as an artistic practice and conceptual starting point.

« I am using light as both a metaphor and a model for my expanded cinema work. Here Films and lights are projected onto large flying objects in an open, democratic space. The themes of light and warmth emerged in their state of action, i.e. in motion. We create spaces where ideas and language became tangible via the physical manifestation of the work of art. The first title for this process is « Postupak », a term used by Michail Baktin, which is a non-translatable (indeed, that is its value). I do use it herein as a description of practice, or « Hand-lung »(in german) : Art in social space. The event consists of joint improvisations with other artists and guests. Improvisation with text will take place as night falls. »
