Description
DIE LIKE A COUNTRY - BY GEMMA HANSSON CARBONE
Start 17.30 at Götaplatsen, outdoor
The walk will end up at Filmstudion (Gothenburg Film Studios)
A trans-disciplinary project curated by internationally awarded artist Gemma Hansson Carbone. The work, which mixes different practices and sciences (walking, historiography, architecture, archeology, performance, anthropology, video art and poetry), is based on the homonymous text written by contemporary Greek author Dimitris Dimitriadis, and the figure of the Angelus Novus described by Walter Benjamin in his 1940 essay. Since its premiere in 2023, this unique and site-specific performance has been restaged in nine different countries.
DIE LIKE A COUNTRY is a punk-liturgical experiment designed to evoke the advent of the Angel of History. History is immobile, it can’t go forward nor backward, and it tells us what we have been through and where we will go. What we are.
But what is the Angel of History? Why is it here? And what prophecy does it bring?
A sci-fi metaphor, with archaic elements, of a society that has lost itself, and died inside. The narrator is a young woman with an unidentifiable accent, who describes the last ruthless events of her country. She details them with the meticulous scientificity of someone observing the unfolding of history from the outside, like a disembodied voice of a lost collective memory, or an outcast oracle from the future.
In collaboration with Clandestino Festival, Hansson Carbone will present a sitespecific edition of the performance, a homage to unmoving time, inspired by Yannis Kounnelis.
