12 hours slow motion walking
18./19.07.1997,08.00 p.m. to 08.00 a.m.
Biel/Bienne and Seeland
A defined landscape with 38 communities (Biel/Bienne and in Seeland), 5 empty shops, 2 empty art galleries, a slow motion performer on the roof of the Central Square's bus-stop (Christian Mattis), another slow motion performer in an empty apartment, visible from the outside (Verena Gassmann). The presence in the print-media, on placards and cards was part of the project. The artistic objective was to gain the best possible approach to a pure slow motion walking on the basis of everyone's own possibilities. Every participant was author of a personal structure for the 12-hour performance.
Performance with Christian Mattis, Verena Gassmann, Susanne Daeppen (dance), Hans Kloeti (Visual Arts), Margrit Rieben (Music), Jürgen Müller-Othzen (Theatre), Thomas Zollinger and 23 other professionals.
