#33 Behind The White Door
- Imri Sandström
That's it. That. That
sensation of being
fucked. Penetrated.
The fact that it's so
contradictory.

#23 Theme, again.
- Fredric Gunve
Part 2 of “All Talk, No Action” (see below).
To deal with, and act within the artistic field today is to make a choice:
-Either you are with us or against us!
And we all know that the second option does not exist. There is no “against us”, we are already “with” from the very beginning, and probably all the way to the end.
The English text will become available soon.

#22 All Talk, No Action.
- Fredric Gunve What is the difference between saying and doing, and what does that have to do with choosing a theme?
- My name is Fredric Gunve and I work as an artist. I have made exhibitions, art actions, performances, situation sensitive events, installations, I also teach and write texts. I have often been asked:
- What is the theme of your work?

#19 Love, Pain And Self-Erection
- Marcus Steinweg The subject is distinguished from the non-subject by the minimum of freedom to be itself, i.e. it has the freedom to defend its self in view of real unfreedom. A human being cannot be reduced to its status as mere object. It knows, as Carl Schmitt says, "not only birth," the facticity of its having been cast, "but also the possibility of a rebirth," which, as Hölderlin says in The Course of Life, is "the freedom to set out whither he will".[1] There is therefore only one obligation for the human subject: to be free in view of its freedom.

#16 Coca-Cola Holy Water
- Paula von SethA local Zambian dance performance with African masks in variations of black and white. The children sob and roar. Their expressions of fear and their screams in a foreign language sink deep down inside me. Why the masks seem to terrify them so, I cannot understand. It is a game, but still and all, it isn't. The black children I usually play with glance at us.

#10 The Heroes Of Absolute Zero
- Janna Holmstedt The first days of the experiment had been uncomfortable, claustrophobic. Imagined sounds caused him to react
as if someone was just outside - knocking, steps, distant conversations. But they were only sound memories. The
only thing that there was to listen to in fact was the murmuring of his own blood circulation.

#4 For The Love Of Foucault
- Marcus SteinwegWhy Michel Foucault? Because philosophy in Foucault's sense is a PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, an act of solitude.
The solitude of the subject of philosophical experience has nothing to do with pathetic or narcissistic, depressive
self-enclosure. The solitude of the philosophical subject is an act of resistance. The subject resists the easiness of
mere opinion. It opens itself to new experiences, the EXPERIENCE OF THE NEW SELF.
