Miriam Stoney’s installation All along, the x-axis at the Performance Passage is on view until 21 April. It features a graphic landscape of a possible autobiography, divided into seven light boxes. Categories of knowledge, experience and identification appear along an x-axis, perhaps representing something like ‘quality time’ or some other variable through which life could be fitted into a narrative. Accompanying the installation is a publication that can be purchased at the on-site vending machine.
For the closing event of All along, the x-axis, Miriam Stoney invites Sophia Eisenhut to stage a discussion together around the subjects that feed their respective bodies of work as well as their ongoing friendship: burdensome reading; attempts to channel thought otherwise (than) through language; the application of knowledge systems beyond disciplinary boundaries. The protracted duration of writing one another condenses into a single evening, in which each voice translates, repeats and responds to the other to address the audience through a redistributed subjectivity.
