The Performative Wall Exposure
Birgit Graschopf
Performance at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, February 7, 2018
Austria 2018
"In this performance the space itself, the auditorium of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, becomes the image. The resulting picture relates to the architecture and perspectives of the museum.
A wall panel in the auditorium was photosensitized, exposed, and developed in front of the audience in the framework of the performance. The visitors entered a darkroom and saw a big white surface lit by red light. An image then successive appeared on blank wall surface, transforming into a picture within minutes. The depiction coincides with the architecture of the space and imagines a breakthrough into the wall through the photographic perspective." (Birgit Graschopf)
