SABINA HOLZER (A)
Approaching myself as a stranger
Approaching myself as a stranger is an attempt at alien knowledge, a quest for the ability to change one’s one way of thinking. Or:
a plan to approximate the life/ experience of women from the Arab countries. an exploriation of the city of Vienna by visting Arab, muslim institutions and associations. a soliloquy with Arab feminist literature & theory. an entanglement of familiar, unfamiliar, ancient and current matters. a collage of deliberations and invocations (because nothing else works).
In the texture of different voices and symbols, religious and political matters, things told and things imagined developed by Sabina Holzer, the distance to the Other, failure to understand becomes its potential. A possibility to follow the momentary logic of poetry and to subvert premature images and definitions of alienness – directly and personally yet keeping distance.
