Hungry Babies: Varieties of the performative music video

In the presence of Jessica Manstetten (curator)

Performance video is the supreme discipline of the music video. The musical mainstream is primarily dominated by charmlessly choreographed works in glossy settings without intermediate tones or randomness. But the performance video can be so much more: Manifesto, indictment, rebellion. Search, self-empowerment against expectations and representational templates, against visible and invisible manifestations of violence, against binary codifications of body, gender and identity. The liberating power here lies in the simplicity of the staging, which creates forms of expression for social and subjective moods. Performance as a play between what is and what we imagine, between body and space, between image and music. Ritual, rhythm, repetition. A foray through the 2000s with 15 video works from 2003 to 2021 - subversive, explosive, vulnerable, playful.
