existenz:1297

2022, Jam Man Loop Station, microphone, speakers, selected words from the book 'The Different Modes of Existence' by Étienne Souriau

What is the relationship between the existence of a work of art and that of a living being? 
In the context of the book 'The Different Modes of Existence' by the french philosopher Étienne Souriau, Tamara Goehringer searches for the essential, the core of the book as well as the meaning of being in her language performwance existenz:1297. She dissects the text into its individual parts and searches for recurring patterns. Her repetitive recitation echoes through the space like a mantra, imprints itself and creates an awareness of the here and now.
