2019, 48', color
the time is now. (I+II) is Holzfeind’s filmic portrait of Japanese shamanic improvisation duo IRO, who merge political activism and a sustainable lifestyle with punk-influenced musical experimentation, 1970s Free Jazz, ancient Shinto rituals and indigenous ceremonies. The work juxtaposes IRO’s performances at Takasama Yosizaka’s Inter-University Seminar House in Hachioji, Tokyo, designed in 1964, with a video recording of their last punk concert in 1986 and found footage of protest movements from the 1970s until today.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
Suggesting alternative models for new social and economic systems, SUPERFLEX works appear before us as energy systems, beverages, sculptures, copies, hypnosis sessions, infrastructure, paintings, plant nurseries, contracts, or specifically designed public spaces.
