Reclaiming Roland
From 06.-21. October, we are reclaiming the former sex cinema Roland and reclaim the space through projects on the themes of desire, bodies and identities.
Reclaiming Roland
Z02

Over three weekends in October, we will reclaim the former sex cinema Roland on Langstrasse with artistic contributions on the themes of (Desire) (Bodies) (Identities). Through an open call, we have invited artists, performers, filmmakers and researchers to fill the space with new life and ideas. The changing exhibition will be accompanied by live performances, panel discussions, film screening and artist talks to create a space for discourse and critique. We aim to create an aware, welcoming and safer space where people can respectfully interact and exchange notions around intersectional feminism in public space.

小埃 💞 Iris
by I-Chieh
Film
Installation
06.-21.10.2023

When two souls fall in love, there is this moment: they lie next to each other in the dark and do not even want to stop telling things. In a cold world that declares everything to be a commodity, people can also buy this moment. Those who lie sleepless in bed can use the service to get a telephonic companion through nocturnal loneliness. The women remain vocal avatars, tank for the needs of the men.

by Murielle Gräff
Film
Installation

Sexualität längst nicht mehr Privatsache. Verschiedene Akteure haben den kapitalistischen Wert von Sexualität erkannt. Sex Shops richten sich an ein diverseres Publikum und adressieren auch eine feministische Käuferschaft. „I can buy myself flowers“ setzt den Trend Sexpositivität in Kontext mit kapitalistischem System und Popfeminismus, ebenso mit Klassen- und Geschlechterfragen.

by Michèle Norma Blatter

Installation
06.-21.10.2023

S*S*S
by Catherin Schöberl, Emilymary Whitaker, Isadora Alves and Salphinah Savin
Performance
Fri, 20.10.2023, 8pm

The performance On Pleasure concentrates on the topic of “pleasure” in the broadest sense, turning towards more abstract forms of sensual experiences. On Pleasure refuses to follow societal learned scripts of what “should” happen in sexual encounters, and celebrates the process itself rather than a preset goal. Through the creation and implementation of several screens and live filming, in addition to costumes, it becomes unclear where a body starts or ends, and how the bodies relate to each other.

by Ludovica Galleani d’Agliano

By challenging traditional notions of gender and embodiment, Syntia_CAM is a hybrid, an alien, a sex worker, neither fully human nor fully machine. With irony and a touch of playfulness, they use technology to create multiple identities, negotiate rates, share experiences and new forms of agency. Are you ready to witness?

Wirf mich an die Wand
by Paulina Späni

Installation

Im Kontakt mit dem Gegenüber definieren wir uns selbst. Was bleibt, wenn Rollenbilder nicht genügen? Geschlecht, Projektion und Projektionsfläche sich vermischen?
