M A K I N‘ H I S T O R Y. 2.0 | John Herman

The performance‚ Makin’ History 2.0’ explored the multiple social-cultural ties between the single individual and history as a concept of social construction. While hopelessly pushing, pulling and lifting wooden cubes, I attempted to make the invisible circle of individual deeds visible and question its limited impact on the ‚surreal‘ perception of history as an act of social construction and its descructive patriarchal, sexist and capitalist backgrounds. I worked with materials like wooden cubes with a weight of 35 kilos each, oil, ashes and wore only a jockstrap. The performance ended after 2 hours. Documented by Matthias Drobeck. John Herman
