Program

VORBRENNER is a contemporary art platform that promotes process-oriented work across all disciplines and genres. It offers short-term opportunities for collaboration for both collectives and individual artists in search of new insights and contemporary forms of expression that engage with an interdisziplinary concept of art and science. The focus is on a movement that is curious, experimental, researching, and developing, that welcomes the unfinished, the paradoxical, and the fragmentary. For exploratory trials of such nature, VORBRENNER provides the BRUX premises along with infrastructure and financial resources.

Born to Kill

Julian Angerer, Anna Heiss, Martin Fritz, Nora Pider
01.-14.10.2018

This performance piece explores the themes of gender and power through its engagement with firearms.

Nora Pider delivers a lecture on stage. She discusses Kali, Pachet, Anat, Hippolyte, Penthesilea, Artemis, Buffy, and Wonder Woman. They all share two things in common: they are women and carry weapons. Nora Pider also owns weapons. She inherited the rifles from her father. After years of them lying unused, Nora has spent the past few months learning how to use them. Throughout this process, Nora has contemplated several questions: What does it mean to carry a weapon? How does it affect my body? What narratives surround women who wield guns? Can I do this? Am I allowed to do this? Through her experience of learning to shoot and reflecting on well-known female gun carriers from film, literature, and mythology, she constructs a thought-provoking monologue that explores themes of intimacy, identity, violence, and, ultimately, the question of personal agency.
