Ausstellung Nr. 3
„Human Implementation“ Teil III
Diese Arbeit des Künstlers Davor Ljubicic
funktioniert wie eine Falle. Dem Betrachter wird der von einer hellen
Videoprojektion ausgeleuchtete Gewölbekellerraum in einem milchigen
Licht vorgestellt und „gezeigt“, wie es im Titel der Ausstellung
steht.
Doch das, was die Besucher hinter einem schwarzen Vorhang erwartet,
der den kleinen Vorraum von dem großen Gewölbekellerraum
trennt und durch den sie nur ein leises Klatschen hören, ist
mehr als die Schönheit eines mittelalterlichen Gewölbekellerraums.
Eingetreten in die „neblige“ Dunkelheit dieses Raumes
kann man den Künstler Davor Ljubicic dabei beobachten, wie er
versucht, in einer einstündigen Video-Performance den Besuchern
in Gebärdensprache zu erklären: „Beim Betreten dieses
Raumes stirbt irgendwo auf der Erde ein Mensch“. Dadurch wird
jeder Besucher indirekt beschuldigt, für den Tod eines beliebigen
Menschen verantwortlich zu sein. Die Tatsache, dass Menschen ununterbrochen
sterben, dringt für einen Augenblick ins Bewusstsein und sorgt
kurzfristig für ein „mulmiges“ Gefühl im Magen
bei denjenigen, die den Gewölbekellerraum betreten.
