HOME SCREEN is open for two more Saturdays @marytwo.one (ends 28 March) […] The installation’s props of assembled lamps and screens are generically familiar: objects without a distinctive design identity, mass-produced to artificially determine the ambience of interior spaces. Here, they are staged precisely as such, asserting their presence and claiming theatricality through a calibrated sonic and visual choreography of on-and-off switching, punctuated by sudden yet charmingly melodic synth keys that divide the installation into chapters. A roaming spotlight screens and frames every detail, and as elements of the scenery are alternately assigned the performing roles, shared notions of singular personality and perspective are disrupted.

• Redux II: I'm So Disappointed In You Daria Blum Performed on Saturday, 24. January Full documentation on our website … I am staying at the Baxpax Hostel / next to Görlitzer Bahnhof station / in Kreuzberg. … For Daria Blum, repeated return to the Baxpax Hostel lobby frames it as an early rehearsal space for performance. Rather than positioning the narrator at a safe distance, she implicates herself in these encounters, foregrounding the discomfort associated with them. She moves between personas, Daphne, Dahlia, Daisy, whose near-homophonic names underscore their status as splinters of a single self. Blum stages the self as fractured and negotiated, not unified. These figures desire each other, betray each other, copy each other, and harm each other. … Excerpt of a text by TA Previously shown at Tate Modern and Grotto, Berlin, the performance received its Swiss premiere at Halmet.

• Redux II: I'm So Disappointed In You Daria Blum Performed on Saturday, 24. January Full documentation on our website … In 'I’m So Disappointed In You', the city of Berlin presents itself through a string of encounters and relationships, set against the backdrops of hostel lobbies, clubs, waiting rooms, or in random apartments, all temporary interiors where people circulate, linger and collide. These are spaces where one might attempt to find belonging, unaware in that moment of their transitory nature. Interiors, where intimacy is improvised, spaces marked by youthful anxieties, which, in the context of Daria Blum’s work, are framed as states of heightened sensitivity, open to attachment, disappointment, and misrecognition. We meet people who speak too loudly, misread social cues, overshare, or collapse the expected scripts of interaction. … Excerpt of a text by TA Previously shown at Tate Modern and Grotto, Berlin, the performance received its Swiss premiere at Halmet.

• Redux II: I'm So Disappointed In You Daria Blum Performed on Saturday, 24. January Full documentation on our website Incorporating a monologue set in Berlin in the 2010s, 'I'm So Disappointed In You' reflects on female alliances, desire, and rivalry through video, music, text, and choreography. Switching between different voices and mannerisms, Blum narrates encounters and disputes between her alter egos, as Daphne, Dahlia, and Daisy move through the liminal spaces of hostel lobbies, club toilets, and waiting rooms, arguing and duetting with their counterparts on- and off-screen.
