Elaka tankar om Tyskland #1 Klemperer har fortfarande rätt, rasismen sitter i språket och i handlingarna, rasismen sitter i språket och handlingarna.
SIE IST BÜRGERIN
SIE IST NUR BESUCHERIN
die Rolltreppen in Duisburg fahren nur halb so schnell wie die Rolltreppen in Stockholm
die treppe hoch!
die treppe hoch! hoch! hoch!
ich will nur mit dem Ausländern sprechen!
Ich hab gefragt – können wir english sprechen?
nein- leider nicht wir können nicht english sprechen, meine kolleginen versteh nichts alles…
UNTERSTIMULIERTE!
my prejudices has become screwed up!
I profile impolite people all over the place
känner mig ständigt trakasserad
constantly harassed
humiliated
Ich hab Ihr Feiertag kaput gemacht
Ich kann nicht mehr
Ich kann nicht mehr
Slutet av ny Sidenvägen
där hände en massa saker tidigare
varför är det dött nu, vid slutet av nya Sidenvägen?
Warum ist es am Ende der Seidenstraße mehr tot als lebendig?
I can’t take it any longer
more dead than alive
ICH WILL NUR MIT DEM AUSLÄNDERN SPRECHEN
I can’t relate to you!! Avarage germans
a fucked up perspective on class society, things struck us, the escalators in Duisburg runs only half the speed as the escalators in Stockholm
Like never before like never before
Ich wache im noise auf, um in der stille zu sterben
MIR WAR NIE LANGWEILIG BIS JETZT
MIR WAR NIE LANGWEILIG BIS JETZT
die gesichte ist immer noch nichts zu ende, eine andere gesuchte ist noch möglich
thank you Germany, you stop me from dreaming with the way you speak to me, I’m an eu citizen, I know what’s up here, Ich bin auch EU-bürgerin ich weiß was lost ist
Deutsch sprechen Deutsch sprechen Deutsch sprechen
ICH WILL NUR MIT DEM AUSLÄNDERN SPRECHEN
The performance series ERASE YOURSELF
is a try to form characters around micro harassment, personal riot, hybrid body, against any kinds of hierarchy, against any kind of normality, against any kind of normativity.
It's all about social realism and punk rock.
A person who is an insider and outsider at the same time; sad, rebellious and, hopefully, poetic.
ERASE YOURSELF is a self talk about politicized existence and living at the side of society, looking at society.
Marie Gavois’ artistic practice spans various media and fields where performance, sound and film are prominent. 2020 – 2021 her solo work involves a research project on the aesthetics of noise-dance and personal riot.
She’s a member and co-founder of the performative sound art and noise duo Sisterloops, a collaboration with composer Alexandra Nilsson based in Stockholm since 2013.
2019 she initiated H a l f f l o o r - a podcast and platform for sonic performative artworks. A collaboration with the artists Susanne Skog and George Kentros. She has an ongoing collaboration with the filmmaker and artist Michel Klöfkorn, since 2014.
2015-2018 Gavois was the chair woman of Fylkingen – new music and intermedia art in Stockholm.
2008-2012 she was an apprentice in SU-EN Butoh Company participating as a dancer and performer in many projects and exhibitions. Earlier she studied sculpture at Gothenburg school of art.
