statement / about the work
About the work:
This performance protocol is an individual invitation into a reflection on evolution. claus ejner challenges the participant and their ability to repeat and continue the act.
ejner is coming from a Dadaist and playful approach to the creation of protocols, where repetition leads to the absurd.... to evolution.
