Infinite Contradictions: The Elastic Test is a performance by the artist collective Apparatus22, where three participants maneuver a large leather flag together in a space.
NOTE: The performance will take place at Sankt Hans Have, Urtevænget 14, 4000 Roskilde.
The flag is heavy, cumbersome, and requires full coordination and collaboration to move. Without using words, the participants find solutions to control the flag’s movements. At the same time, the flag holds infinite aesthetic possibilities for form and expression, which can be explored as symbols of the constantly shifting balance points of power, which need to be restored and renegotiated repeatedly. Slowly, the flag changes hands between participants while the paradoxes of democracy in our modern and vibrant world are reflected.
The work is part of the solo exhibition Civis Bloomcraft and will be performed throughout Roskilde during the spring and summer.
On Saturday, 17 May, the performance will be presented in Sankt Hans Have, Urtevænget 14, 4000 Roskilde.
