Tris Vonna-Michell
Auto-Tracking: Ongoing Segments, 2008
Performance at Jan Mot, Brussels

In the installation Auto-Tracking, Vonna-Michell combined this visual material to form a story, in which several narrative strands interconnect. He told stories and recounted the history of places, people and objects and, in this, created a reality that interwove historical facts and fictions in a multitude of possible narratives. The two-part installation consisted, first, of a telephone station, with the help of which Vonna-Michell entered into direct contact with the viewers through an intimate dialogue, and, through specially selected images spread out on a table, further developed the performance in oral form with a breathtaking fast-speaking performance. For the second part, an almost identical installation was set up in another room of the Kunsthalle, in which the received calls were collected and archived.

'1134'



There has been an area opposite Fountainpark, round the corner from my house for a long time.
This area which has been there for a long time has been a landfill for a long time.
For a long time, Lubin and I have needed to clean up this landfill.

Every object within the space which is able to be moved by hand has been removed from its original place and reorganised into a more user friendly collection.

The objects were first placed in size order, then further organised into a 'selection box'.

With help from members of the public never seen, this selection box has been taken from and added to.


An exhibition is now on at Komachi, as part of the Edinburgh Arts Festival.
