Matthias Schamp Mister Individual, walking from: Und es bewegt sich doch – extended in: Und es bewegt sich doch, Museum Bochum, p, 122, Bochum 2006 in: CHRISTIAN HASUCHA, Öffentliche Interventionen (Public Intervention), Verlag für Moderne Kunst, Nürnberg, 2013 (Monograph) ...’An actor walks on a 2.4 m high plinth, whose upper surface is fitted with a conveyor belt driven by an electric motor. The action takes place for three hours a day for a week. As with many of Hasucha’s works, we are dealing with a model-like situation here. A model delivers ‘Mr. Individual’, lifted above street level, tenaciously going his way as regards his environment and the processes taking place there - whereby his not-making-forwards-progress generates the necessary amount of confusion (the treadmill is not visible from below). For each passerby, whether striding, sauntering, rushing, hurrying, strolling or taking the dog for a walk, automatically and involuntarily fits his own pace of movement to the activities of Mr. Individual. Even car drivers are not unaffected. And in the reflection of one’s own doing, a window opens behind which the movement through public space does not appear as a pure necessity to get from point A to point B, but rather an important and significant-in-itself undertaking becomes visible - quite capable of releasing its own sensations and experiential contents.’...
