Staged Time – 21.12.2012
A performance on stage about "Yesterday" and "Tomorrow" in the symbolic date of 21st December 2012.
Organized by: ArtOxygen, Asia Art Projects, Tobias Megerle
Date: 21/12/12
Address: Mumbai, India

The 21st December 2012 is a symbolic date, marking the beginning of a new, spiritual era, in which individuals strive to make our world a better place to live in. The project intends to urge people to interrogate their role in the world, as it is only when one questions oneself, does change occur. In this perspective, our lives can be seen as a continuous line of instants, of “nows” which define our histories. Thus, life becomes a series of interpreted yesterdays and imagined tomorrows.

The setting for the performance will be a structure made of bamboo, adorned with flags and divided into two sections – one marked “YESTERDAY”, the other “TOMORROW”. People will be invited to the area demarcated as “yesterday” and will have to answer the existential question: “THINK! How are you making this world a nice place to live?”. The participant will then proceed to the next stage “tomorrow” and answer the provoking question: “DARE! Are you who you dream to be?”

During the two actions, portraits of the participants were taken and inserted in a frame reproducing a revisited version of the third infinite symbol. The same were subsequently sent to them via email.
