The Prayer's Room, 2010
Installation
Under the title All in the Mind, groups of four performers put their heads in boxes inspired by birdhouses and shaped like a church, a mosque, a temple, or a synagogue. Their field of vision is limited to the small opening in their respective house of worship. Without accepting any influence from their surroundings, the performers stand once in a rice field in Bali, once on a square in Istanbul, walk through the bird market in Yogyakarta or around the Coliseum in Rome. For their most recent performance in Berlin, four actors forced themselves into birdhouses of worship constructed from fast food packaging and stepped onto the subway at Alexanderplatz Station.
