Black Tie 17 - Rimini Protokoll/Helgard haug/Daneil Wetzel
About the time preceding her first documents, Miriam Yung Min Stein had only the mythical information obtained from the adoption services office: “In 1977 you were found wrapped in newspaper inside a box in South Korea.” How does one tell the story of one’s origins when, as in Stein’s case, the recording can begin with arriving in a German airport? “Black Tie” orbits the black hole of ancestry as well as the odd and much discussed human genetics issues of today’s support industry.
After three pieces using larger texts as their subject – Schiller’s “Wallenstein,” the first volume of Marx’s “Capital” and the “Breaking News” of the evening news – Rimini Protokoll’s new work directs its microscopic gaze to the documents of a life.
