In the performance series "sleeping on the rooftop", I try to question my own expectation and the associated habits in the context of urban living space. The elimination of prefabricated conventional routes such as roads and sidewalks makes the attempt to take the allegedly most direct route across houses, roofs, residential blocks and construction sites. Based on the so called „Parkour" created in the 1980s in France. The naming sleeping on roofs is the central element of the performances. It calls for a nomadic, temporary attitude that stands in contrast to the domesticated way of life in the supposedly dynamic urban space. Naive infantile attempt at conventional liberation or a consistent emancipation of the petty_bourgeois attitude resulting from urban life, which downright, through all social strata, takes on reactionary features?
