Autists and Aliens

Installation, 5 x 5 x 6 m
Music and performance in collaboration with Jonathan Auth

Autists and Aliens is a narrative concert performance, which uses a space ship installation as focus and stage. It playfully discusses the "pop stars" of the art market and questions the standards and rules of the current art scene.

Two aliens, from planet Nemutib arrive with their space ship at the K21. Their demand: "Hand over Damien Hirst" Damien Hirst is a reptile, who gives away new technology to various nations whiles disguising himself as an artist. The two nemutibians are Royal Guards and came to earth to catch Hirst and bring him to the System of Suraki, where his trial awaits him.

With interdisciplinary media and humor the work asks the spectator to change their perspective and not confuse quality with false seriousness.
