The performance "the pausing of thoughts in the moment of indifference" takes place on the four floors of a scaffolding standing in the middle of the exhibition hall.
Corresponding to the lyrics of a song, different actions describe situations of pausing, focusing on the crucial, undirected moment of processes undergoing an interruption or taking a turn: on the moment of things coming to a short halt.
Pausing in indifference
There´s
something happening here
What it is ain´t exactly clear
It´s about certain states of mind
Somehow inflicting from behind
Stop this could be a chance
Pausing
in indifference
We
do not wanna decide
To
stand on either side
Having
the choice means turning around
No
matter wether it goes up or down
Stop
this could be a chance
Pausing
in indifference
It´s
an undecided way
Never
care about a straight lay
When
you switch when you inbetween
You
might figure out what we mean
Stop
this could be a chance
Pausing
in indifference
Paranoia
strikes deep
Into
your live it will creep
It
starts when your´re always afraid
Step
out of line, the men come and take you away
