In my case, I am standing in front of a locker, trying to get a better understanding of what is happening around me. „Are you really gonna stand there staring at me all the way from across the room?“ We don´t seem to think of dynamite things to say to each other which (in our case) doesn’t bother any of us. Discomfort in my body yet. Squeezing all my gestures into a small delivery box and moving on. Still… I am lined up in her sight. I am starting to whistle away gently to myself, raising an acoustic protective film around me. While walking around and casting a net wide just to catch the situation, I am realizing a cluster of people well known. Kind of eased I discontinue whistling and dispel my shell. Time to caress my catch … here we go, I have no idea what is going on.

Vienna-based artists Julian Feritsch and Julia Hohenwarter operate simultaneously as forensic examiners of space and producers of the environment to be examined. Negotiating different forms of deserted public landscapes—synthetic manicured environments across the corporate spaces of Los Angeles—the two have focused their study on the ‘leftovers’ of quasi-public space. What narratives form from the traces and residue of bodies that have passed through contemporary, controlled spaces? For their installation at the Schindler House, Feritsch and Hohenwarter present a scenic, multimedia environment in the set-up of an intimate, impromptu gathering, much like a picnic. Visitors to the exhibition will find themselves archeologists within the situation, slowly putting together again the activity evidenced by the sculptural, textual, textural, and audio components.
