Tes mots dans ma bouche is a dialogue based on conversations about love and desire recorded in Brussels between November 2017 and April 2018. Its protagonists include a woman raised in a kibbutz, a protestant pastor, the manager of a sex club, a Syrian Muslim, a German Buddhist, etc. This conversation is offered to the audience in private or public locations so that its members can contribute, as if it was a democratic emotional exercise that explores the limits of our social bubbles. The participants lend their voices to the arguments of others, saying words that are not their own, entering unexpected worlds and questioning their own tolerance or indifference. Tes mots dans ma bouche examines the extremely fragile foundation of European society, where the issue of cohabitation is increasingly coming to the fore.
BIOGRAPHY
Through her performances, relational practices and urban work, Anna Rispoli’s approach transcends public space and civil society, beyond the borders of artistic creation. For Les marches de la Bourse, she brought together political militants from the last fifty years for a meta-demonstration in support of the right to demonstrate. In Vorrei tanto tornare a casa, she invited the residents of an apartment building to use their windows to share their feelings about urban density. In the Water Pieces series, Tempus fugit re-contextualised the ambitions of women from Kortrijk, Belgium to become a brand or a label, whereas Five attempts to speak with an alien sought to obscure the waterfront of Abu Dhabi.
Lotte Lindner and Till Steinbrenner have been working together since 2002. They consider any given space as a conceptual impetus for their investigations. They have won the Sparkasse Hannover artistic prize, the Zeitsicht prize in Augsburg and the New York Stipend from the Niedersächsiche Sparkassen foundation and the state of Lower Saxony. This is their second collaboration with Anna Rispoli after The invention of the elevator, which they created for Theaterformen in 2011.
