Nobody’s There
Hofmann&Lindholm
You come home and walk into your flat. And Nobody’s there. Nobody is someone you don’t know. Nobody’s hiding in the wardrobe, under your bed or maybe behind a curtain. You consent to Nobody being there, you let Nobody be.
Hofmann&Lindholm invite you to take part in an esoteric game of hide and seek in Dortmund: the participants either allow someone they don’t know to remain undiscovered in their own personal space or they hide in a stranger’s apartment. Nobody’s There is a one-to-(n)one performance, in which at least two people enter a relationship with each other without becoming tangible counterparts. You have the chance to spend time together – under particular conditions – and to concentrate on fundamentals. On the existential question: Is anyone (still) there?
You are invited to take part in this special art experience – either in your own apartment or someone else’s apartment. Please register as early as possible if you wish to experience this one-to-(n)one performance in your own home. Enquiries and registration are now open, please contact: nobodysthere@hofmannundlindholm.de
