is pleased to present exc  avate.

exc is authorless,
collaborative and examine sociological apparatus and processes.

The work excavation tells of two genderless
characters who go through monotonous actions in an emptied everyday world.
While their everyday lives seem to be the same, small iterations in the
processes indicate that they are in a process of change. The processes from
everyday life are repeated in a formalized black box in order to offer the
viewer another tool for analysing the process.

excavation was produced as a film in 20/21. At the same time, analogue photographs
were taken, which resulted in an artist’s book with a theoretical supplement
with contributions by Dr. Ulrich Kobbé, Prof. Eckardt Lindner and Prof. Miriam
Schaub. For the project excavation around 30 artists, musicians, camera
operators and set- and costume designers were involved.
