Hola Tod@s,<br>
<br>
Johannes, "Kino" (just mean movement):
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1250">
before vowels, <span class="foreign">kin-</span>, word-forming
element meaning "motion," from Greek <span class="foreign">kino-</span>,
from <span class="foreign">kinein</span> "to move." <br>
<br>
The politics of movement or motion. <br>
<br>
Who has the right to move and where do they have to right to move to
or move away from?<br>
<br>
TBT is both affective and effective-both poetic and utilitarian-TBT
does both at the same time. <br>
(Or else the NGO's we worked with would not have worked with us.) <br>
<br>
It is (ae)ffective app. <br>
<br>
I do not understand why you find it so difficult to imagine both at
the same time.<br>
<br>
Very best,<br>
Ricardo<br>

Isabelle has returned to work at the 'Jungle' camp in Calais, and I much appreciated what she sent us - especially as I had my own doubts and uncertainties about
futile gestures of the kind that Ai Wei Wei performed, and partly I was struggling to comprehend Ricardo's references to "gesture" and "kinopolitics" (this misleading term) (I asked this before, when I wondered how
the migrant from Honduras or Guatemala will download the border tool app when she crosses, say, from Mexico to Arizona and loses her way in the desert?)

<pre wrap="">I often connect the performative matrix (or kinopolitics) of the gesture/s that TBT functions in as an expanded sense of Brecht's gestus (that sounds like justice).
So that movement across border-scapes towards water/sustenance as a way to manifests a set of social relations: or undocumented or citizens without borders , data-body relations, or geo-relations of flow, blockage, alter-navigations.
And yes the question of the intimately connected sense of the political and conceptual become part and partial of TBT's recombinant theater.

If I may ask Tanja Ostojić – whose work I encountered in another workshop last November, when Marina Gržinić pointed me to the photographs (e.g. "After Courbet, L´origine du Monde")
- how does one "refuse to claim any particular nationality" when moving between the former east and the former west? At what point do artistic gestures (like the passport from NSK's "state in time" that I hold)
become ineffective, ridiculous, or arrogant?
Yet your work, Tanja, seems to raise such important questions about sexual violence, degradation and self prostitution which we also began to talk about in these past days. Please tell
us more about your current work...
regards
Johannes Birringer
