tongue, 1992, Berlin, Knaack Gallerie, project video documentation

Lynn Book was invited to perform “tongue” in Berlin in 1992 at two different venues - X ‘N Pop, a club in the Kreuzberg section of the former West and Knaack Galerie in the Prenzlauer Berg area of the former East. This incomplete video documentation of the performance of this solo vocal work, an extended deconstruction of language, meaning and power through a poetics of feminist thought, was shot by the curator, Theo Di Ricco. The small, mostly German speaking audience at Knaack was subdued, due in part to the still rather isolated condition of East Berlin after the fall of the Berlin Wall in late 1989. Running time for the video is 33:44 and has some drop out at various passages.
