A chair as any other (2020)

For nine years the red folding chair was a defining object in the DfbrL8r- archives. In those years the chair was used in at least five performances of different artists. I decided to find it a new home, to take it away from the spotlights and to bring it to a place where it could lose its artistic background and become the mundane object it was meant to be. I spend the week before the presentation to prepare. At the time of the performance the chair moved to its new location, never to return. In the gallery I read a text explaining the process and results. For presentation in this Chair-festival I re-read the text for recording.
