Concept, Performance: When people are arriving at an airport we all recognize taxi drivers, showing names on boards.
The Perfect Valentine
Waiting in the transit-zone for somebody for something. What kind of expectations do we have concerning towards those arriving? Who are we waiting for? Ruth Mateus-Berr raises the question by her performance by provoking different projections and expectations until there is a void, the absence of expectation as a catharsis for human beings.
Mateus-Berr is waiting at the airport, not knowing who to pick up, reflecting on expectations and the meaning of waiting. In Julythe artist realized two performances at the airport of Vienna, Austria.
Each performance took four hours. The artist was wearing an evening dress with plunging neckline with a hood, on her head wearing an aviators cap. Her attitude was to observe, not to respond to human reactions, but stand there quietly highly concentrated, without responding mimic or gestures.
