DOUBLECHAMBER EXPERIMENT

The "Double-chamber experiment" shown in 1999 at the "Festival of performative work", with the artist Matthias Hornung as player A, contains the essence of the tuning principle. In the Societätstheater in Dresden, two rooms were on stage, separated from each other. Only a hole with a diameter of approximately 15 centimeters connected the two rooms. In the direction of the audience, however, both rooms were open. At the beginning of the play, the room on the left, as seen by the audience, contained a table, two chairs, a desk, a bed and a cupboard. The room on the right-hand side was unfurnished. In both rooms, there were tools. The task of player A in the room on the left was to take the furniture to pieces and to push it through the hole into the other room. And player B in the room on the right had to assemble the pieces again to make a table, two chairs, a desk, a bed and a cupboard.
