A video format for live streaming of approx. 20 min for a set number of viewers, connected to Zoom. The camera will not frame a person, but a section of a table top on which only the hands of the performers and 2D elements made out of prints and clippings – i.e., characters, objects, places, writings – will appear and disappear. A map of historical anecdotes will emerge through the use of these basic, yet powerfully evocative tools. These anecdotes interact with each other, triggering associations and shifts of meaning – in search of that Idea that Walter Benjamin called “revealed constellation”.
