In an adjacent space Prinz Gholam begin their performance by embodying the same posture depicted in the black & white picture. A succession of meditation-like postures follow. They enhance a mental, emotional, and bodily, rigor. The meaning of the embodied is decontextualized. The present situation takes over. A subjective sense of time establishes itself simultaneously for the performers and for the beholder. The performed stillness, or the still-act, is an interruption of the economy of time and the fluidity of movement: movement resistance, moments of intensification, small movements, vibrations and trembling. 14 July, 17.00, House of Ideas / Hugmyndahús, Grandagarður 2
