Slow destruction of our community,
This World.
Maria Pasenau's new book "The Hoplesness Of Beeing Alive" holds text, drawings and a little collection of photos. The book is number three in line with Pasenau's self-published books and takes up the human's naïve confidence in the general facts, the murky future and hopes for change. Pasenau herself says that the book is in many ways a self-help book, with a lot of humor and surreal everyday scenarios.
The book is presented as a performance where the artist reads from the book into a microphone head's ear, while a flutist plays a large bass flute in the other ear of the microphone head that leads all the noise out to the audience.
The performance will contain:
Voice by Maria Pasenau
Bass flute by Johanna Scheie Orellana
The Performance will be held in English.
