Rosanna Graf, Ordinary Women – Carrier Bags of Friction (Videostill), 2023, © VG Bild-Kunst Bonn, 2023
Finissage and performative reading
with Rosanna Graf, Jara Bihler and Philipp Joy Reinhardt
Sunday, 7 January 2024, 4 pm
Free admission
In the performative reading, Rosanna Graf will take up themes from the video installation Ordinary Women – Carrier Bags of Friction, build bridges and tear them down again. A new text written especially for the event links symptoms of female resistance from shoplifting to mass hysteria.
Anecdotal, historical and cinematic examples will be interwoven and presented by three “ordinary women”: Rosanna Graf and the performers Jara Bihler and Philipp Joy Reinhardt will venture into the banalities and abysses of suppressed female rage together with the audience.
Please note that the reading will be in German language.
