Sick of Fear is a video/sound installation and a live performance.
At 16:00 each day of exhibition, Alexey begins a three-hour sound and voice performance, during which he ‘contaminates’ and ‘purifies’ the windows of the Sternschuppen Pavilion, over and over again.
At 19:00, Alexey begins a 40-minute voice performance that explores Alexey’s memories of illness in his family, as well as his own personal experience of receiving a life-changing diagnosis. By assembling sounds of cleaning windows, extended vocal techniques and original texts Alexey creates an original composition, a song about fear of being infected.
In Sick of Fear, Alexey explores fear at the level of the ‘in-depth’ body. The body becomes an object, and the Sternschuppen Pavilion turns into an extension of the body — an organ or a cell. Both appear vulnerable to contagion. In this way, the stigma of illness is confronted, and the causes of fear, which often remain hidden, are brought to the surface.
Die Performance beinhaltet Nacktheit als künstlerisches Ausdrucksmittel. Sie ist nicht sexuell konnotiert. Der Besuch wird für Erwachsene empfohlen.
