KINKALERI /ITA/ `West`
video-installation on the windows of Kanuti Gildi SAAL



West is a Kinkaleri project that has been going on for years already. Formally it is very easy to describe: they’ve asked people in various Western cities to die.

Well, to die for a few minutes and falling and lying down for a while did it, too. Kinkaleri’s art doesn’t take that much of a sacrifice. Then they filmed it, edited it into a video installation and added clips to it in every new city.

As a backdrop to the ones falling, there remains the Western World as represented in the city behind them. In Amsterdamathensbeijingberlinbrusselslondonnewyorkparispraguerometokyovienna. Or in Tallinn for that matter. They city never dissapears, it rushes on existing. Performing as it stands the impossibility of making the moment halt and the self-performance of the Western world. Or maybe something else. Depends on what one sees in it.

Kinkaleri is an Italian performance group founded in 1995. It often varies its means of expression making both site-specific performances, audio or video installations, video-works etc. Always on the edges of different genres and aesthetics. Always well conceived always nonchalant in form. For years they’ve been all over Europe. Their ground control though is in Prato, Italy.
