Marion Ritzmann
One to ...
2015
Performance, duration 1.5 hours
At 2 pm, Marion Ritzmann sets up a ladder in the middle of a meadow. She takes a typewriter case and a pack (500 pieces) of A4 paper, goes back to the ladder, climbs up and sits on the top rung. She places the lid of the case on the second highest rung and puts the pile of paper inside.
She takes a sheet of paper, clamps it, writes something and turns it out of the typewriter again. The sheet is caught by the wind, sails through the air and slowly glides to the ground. The process is repeated in exactly the same way, and over time the meadow is littered with sheets of paper. Numbers are written on the leaves: One, two, three, four, five ...
When the audience's attention has long since been drawn to the next performance in the NEU-OERLIKON performance series, Marion Ritzmann steps down from the ladder unnoticed after 136 sheets and 1.5 hours and leaves the scene.
