As part of the APROPOS HODLER exhibition at Kunsthaus Zurich, LETHE has continued to delve into the question regarding notions of “neutrality" or "natruality" of a (national) landscape and its bodies.
Instead, LETHE tackles the notion of such through site, architectural histories, and engages with its hidden and ever-present and complexities and embedded strata of (em)power(ment).
APROPOSITIONS ( (live) is a one-time only live-performance without video-recordings. The seven performers wear a specially designed fabric that quotes a deer-unter’s camouflage “orange blaze” . The textiles are altered to depict invasive and now “Swiss” plants, printed on canvas, with a color gradiation from a white that looks as if bleached from below to a mid-day/mid-night orange on top.
The performers move throughout five different locations in the (recently built by Chipperfield and historic by Moser) architectures of the museum, guiding the viewers through a score of possible interventions into complex histories and presents such as:
