Rituals of performative self-inventorying

How can immaterial heritage become a tangible inventory? In this work we gather around three individual experiences, perspectives and histories. With a critical eye B.EEF develop a performative-installation piece in which bodies, memories and objects are inventoried through ritual practices. Based on the thesis that our bodies and minds are mobile, finite archives, we want to capture the knowledge of our family histories and memories through a practice of self-inventorying, critically enacted through performative rituals that provide insights into our lives and pasts. "Self-inventorying” means to draw an awareness from within oneself, with regard to one's own history.

Rituals of the performative self-inventorying by B.EEF is supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
