27 - 30 October 2016: Close-Up on VALIE EXPORT

I was born at the hospital which belongs to the city of Linz I suckled at the breast which belongs to my mother I hid from the bombs that belonged to the country of England I wore the clothes that belonged to my sister I cried for my father, whose death belonged to the fatherland I played with the balls that belonged to the nursery school I read the books that belonged to the library I rode in trains that belonged to the government I sat on chairs that belonged to others I lived on money that belonged to my boyfriend I breathed the air that belonged to God That’s the life that belongs to me.

I screamed with the voice that belongs to me I bit with the teeth that belong to me I scratched with the fingernails that belong to me I cried with the tears that belong to me I saw with the eyes that belong to me I thought the thoughts that belong to me I laughed with the laughter that belongs to me I kissed with the mouth that belongs to me I slept with the dreams that belong to me That’s the life that belongs to me.

VALIE EXPORT, from Gedichte, 1966
