We have a problem with things. Our culture produces too much and in ways that incite such radical changes that we have to be fearful for our existence on earth. We need to radically change the way we think so that it reflects matter in a new way: not as a passive object, but as an active agent. As part of a configuration of human and non-human agents that together go beyond merely describing reality but serve to produce it. To that end, the temporary collective formed by “DRECK“ took part in a six-week long residency in the Heizhaus at Uferstudios in Berlin and accumulated material. From concerts to leftover dinners, readings from the “Deck of Dust,” films and showings, performances emerged that have now lead a life of their own and go on tour both individually and in combination with one another.
