During the Performance Intermedia Festival we drove daytimes in, through and around Szczecin in a car equipped with a loudspeaker:
“UWAGA UWAGA ! S / C / Z ! OBECNIE NA TERENIE MIATA PRZEBYWA WIELU ZLODZIEI CZASU ! PROSIMY O ZWIEKSZONA OSTROZNOSC !”
“Attention, Attention ! S / Z / C / Z ! There are a lot of time thieves out again today !”
“UWAGA UWAGA ! S / C / Z ! OBECNIE ZNOW PRODUKOWANE SA ZNACZNE ILOSCI CIEPLEGO POWIETRZA !”
“Attention, Attention ! S / C / Z ! There ’ s a lot of hot air being produced again now !”
“UWAGA UWAGA ! S / C / Z ! PORUSZA SIE PAN PO NIEPEWNYM GRUNCIE !”
“Attention, Attention ! S / C / Z ! You’ re moving on slippery parquet !”

A tradition at the Performance Intermedia Festival is the “ late night ” at the National Museum Szczecin : for one hour – throughout the whole museum – various performances simultaneously take place. Whereas in 2006 we performed in the stairwell with a used deep sea rope, this time we chose the African department. For one hour long, we posed quietly frozen alongside imposing African sculptures and figures, and modulated the consonants S Z C Z with our mouths ; a continuous phonetic transformation of hissing and buzzing noises filled the space vested with fetish objects. In our hands, we held a compressed bale of hay that we pulled apart, little by little, over the course of this hour. Every now and then, we blew gold leaf over the straws.
