As performance untitled_11 follows the logic of a table tennis tournament and recreates a game with eleven points. The usual game dynamics are canceled and vice versa by integrating all game elements into a rigid movement system. Everything mobile in the table tennis game is rigid. Everything immobile in motion. The game resembles a puppet theatre and leaves control to those who control the processes from the outside.

The intended reversal of the conditions in the game can be transferred to social and political systems. Persons become objects that can only act in the rigidly structured action apparatus. Objects are redirected and discarded from their normal function. The dynamics of societies and the oscillation of the human radius of action between group and individual are thus challenged.
