«Water the earth, polish the steel, tighten the threads» is the result of joint research by dancer and choreographer Simone Aughterlony and visual artists Sarah Burger, Johanna Kotlaris and Dafi Kühne on the subject of hands - based on the three texts “Politics of Touch” by Erin Manning, “Prehension” by Collin McGinn and the eponymous poem “Maintenance” by Anne Carson.

The four works deal with different aspects of touch and action. It is about the loss of control; about precision craftsmanship in dealing with tools that have a life of their own; about the relationship between value and proximity and the potential of the gap between what is actually present and what is spatio-temporally distant. The results are drawings, objects, prints and performative miniatures.

Over the course of three days, Südbühne will be transformed into a walk-in, performative installation that visitors can enter and leave at any time during the event.

Information on accessibility and language

The premises are accessible without steps and the artists offer spontaneous guided tours through the installation in Swiss German, German and English.
