GOOD QUESTION
Innocence does not find
near so much protection as guilt.

WHAT IS YOUR PLACE OF
PROTECTION?
If more people asked that
question the world would be much better off....

DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD BE
DIFFERENT IF YOU WERE A MAN?
I can't help but feel that
you'll be being exploited by the male gaze when lying there. How do you think
this would be different if you were a man? Tilda Swinton also did
something like this in NYC,
and it felt so rat-in-a-cagey, I think because she has to look pretty on camera
all the time.

FINAL COUNTDOWN.....
FOR DIGITAL AUTISM!
Andrea12 replied on Thu,

DIGITAL AUTISM
I think using media
(digital or not) is even enhancing your communication - but not everyone uses
these possibilities. Maybe the autism lies in our way of perception, in
terms of consuming media
not producing anything.

PLACE OF PROTECTION
My place of protection is
at home, eg the sofa in my living room, or the Ikea bed in my bedroom, in the
arms of my sweetheart.

ALICE....
I know Tilda«s performance
- she started it already in the 70ies I think - called THE MAYBE but it«s a
different story - I think being exposed as a woman is obvioulsy more
controversal than as a man
- but it«s also fragile and powerful - If you face your fear - that«s the only
way to overcome it....

I could share all the
private answers I am getting with you but of course I won«t Just a little
something from someone really special .... the smile of a child! I am
especially
drawn to this becuase I
just had a rather essentiel experience... which I might tell you a little later
- it«s something you pnder over when the light is fading.....

ANDREA...
MEDIA IS CURSE AND BLESSING
- SUCH AS THE BED...even though you should be totally protected u feel lonely
at the same time - I would even go so far to say -
the ultimate place of in
between and the opposite is the incubator where the baby comes in new born and
the only chance to survie is in an artifical state - but what«s
missing is the love in
terms of touching feeling and having a human sense of body near by....
Helene replied on Thu,

MY..
..places of protection when
I was a child were caves I built for myself from chairs and blankets. Although
there were people in the room, sitting in the cave gave me a
very special feeling of
protection. Today, I have this feeling when I am inside a warm flat and the
weather outside is raging but cannot harm me.
Mia-Florentine replied on

HELENE...
I always built houses made
of garden chairs for my teddy bears ( GL†CKSB€RCHIS) and dolls and my DACHSHUND
(DACKEL) called Santa Claus - caves are cool! U
know what - my favorite
game was playing ROBIN HOOD and we were outside all day and our only shelter
was rocks and trees....U R A TRUE ROCK STAR HELENE
AND MY SISTER IN CRIME!
Mia-Florentine replied on

ANGEL...
One of the answers I got
was an angel - Rilke said every angel is terrible! That«s why I even bother
with wings....

THINKING & BELIVING IS
PROTECTION
Revelation 7:15 Therefore
they are before the throne of God and serve him Day and Night in his temple;

This one«s for uuuuuu Although I am not religious I am spiritual - I feel
there«s an energy that«s higher
than anyone can ever
imagine - that«s why I went to India to go and see beyond - now I sound like a
clichŽ Hippie but that«s the truth - now I think of it again just because
you reminded me of it -

BED AS PLACE OF PROTECTION?
Well, the bed was among the
many answers I got - no matter from which country nor religion - people are
drawn to this last BASTILLION of shelter which is left - imagine
in the old days one would
not be able to see another familys bedroom....now I sound like a granny - holy
shit like bla bla all has been more priveŽ and protected but in a
way it was - now Media and
total transparency made us so addicted to technology that we kind of kiss our
smart phones good night rather than our beloved ones....a nice
metaphor for digital autism
anyway - for me personally: MY bed is love and hate - I long for it but when I
am in it I can«t relax - it«s like Fassbinder said: SCHLAFEN
KANN ICH WENN ICH TOT BIN!

PROTECTON
IT was a lover and his
lass, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, That o'er the green corn-field
did pass, In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, When birds do
sing, hey ding a ding,
ding; Sweet lovers love the spring. Between the acres of the rye, With a hey,
and a ho, and a hey nonino, These pretty country folks would lie, In
the spring time, the only
pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love
the spring. This carol they began that hour, With a hey, and a ho,
and a hey nonino, How that
life was but a flower In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, When birds
do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love the spring. And,
therefore, take the present
time With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino, For love is crown`d with the prime
In the spring time, the only pretty ring time, When birds do
sing, hey ding a ding,
ding; Sweet lovers love the spring.

JOHN LENNON
I think what John Lennon
said with IMAGINE PEACE could be translated into today with the following:
IMAGINE POETRY When John and Yoko stayed in in bed for their
BED INS this was a
different time and place - so they were singing and smoking and just peacefully
lying in their comfort zone which said soooo much at the time -
decades later Tracey Emin
turned her bed into a public sex space - now at the beginning of this century
where everything already has been revealed - isn«t the only
chance not to survive in
what I call digital autism if we just concentrate on the essence of things?
Reflexion in and over beds this it!

YES, A BED, THE ENDURING
WOMB
But i'm reminded of a
simple towel as used in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. That may
suffice, that and a temperate climate and 'the essentials' Or more
abstractly, gently flowing
thought. It's a good question to ask on your travels, I think. And yes, you do
have my male gaze ;-)
Mia-Florentine replied on
Thu, 04/25/2013 - 19:39
WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
Well, I ask myself sooooo
many questions - don«t you feel it«s easier to answer just when u have no one
to answer? left alone with your thoughts....
Michaels replied on Fri,
04/26/2013 - 13:07
yes, sure. Goethe says one
can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude. I ccannd a page
of yours last night, you say you havent been alone for 1o
years... that can't be
wholly good..

Now u got me onto something
- when did you read Hitchhiker through the galaxy? I think it«s not only about
what you read but also when - I mean the time in your life ....
Michaels replied on Fri,

NOT SURE WHAT YOU GOT ONTO,
Not sure what you got onto,
but to answer you: probably in late teens, exploring what I liked. Did you read
it?

MY TRAVELS...
I can«t really remember
when the journey started but it must be after my german ABITUR - I packed my
gear and was off ... and away ... nowhere to go nowhere to
stay...I traveld to
Australia first - back packing first just like in Alex garland«s book THE BEACH
- what a trip! We all wanted to stay there didn«t we? Anyway their are
comments waiting but
sometimes you get carried away with thoughts as well it«s just like you are
trying to create and than you stumble into one idea after the other (
problem is to finish it )
so what I was thinking of was one episode where I had a tent in thailand for
free because I did the dishes every morning and night at the common
beach house and there was
this lady and we never talked but only comminucated through our eyes ... this
was incredible - she said soooo much to me just with one look!

AMSTERDAM
A good spot for the bed of
peace - I mean the original one which is from this prison I was looked in the
isolation cell - sometimnes you need to show exactly the opposite
of what you want to say -
like travelling to the moon and back...The bed needs to take on a journey just
like an angel without wings and needs to be placed just where
peace is neededd - could be
right in the middle of s Spiesser-Wohnung wo der Mann seine Frau schlŠgt
genauso wie am Gazastreifen oder an einem der Orte am
Grenzübergang
Berlin/Potsdam wo Menschen beim Mauerüberqueren erschossen warden...PEACE

Loud music lost love The

the earth is moving No more ground beneath our feet Our life is off and
on as if Paralyzed by
ecstasy and speed Is there a cure for madness In our minor minds Your
silhouette in the mirror Makes my eyes go blind Are you there with me? Is
your head lying next to mine?
One double room two single beds Our words have lost their rhyme

REFLEXION
light fades thoughts
appear... What«s interesting that the Emails I am getting which are not public
seem to have some sort of soul, like as though the desire I feel - which
is the reason for everything
I do - must be some kind of sense of my generation or what human beings have in
common anyway just like Kant«s categorical Imperative so
how can we transform the
feeling of ultimate shelter and protection where nothing can harm u into
today«s society ?

How many kids do you have?
I think ultimate love we can only feel when we had this experience of actually
looking into the eyes of someone how is made of our flesh
and blood - i mean i can
only guess - i don«t have kids yet - only art babies how i call my artworks
because I put so much HEARTBLOOD into them ( in fact in reality I
used a lot of blood for my
installations ) so giving birth must be mind blowing and perhaps the most
creative thing there is in the world...

LIFE«S A CHALLENGE RIGHT?
IN
Life«s a challenge right?
In a way your concept summerizes my way of working pretty well - if you don«t
go beyond you ll never know what to find...if you don«t cut loose
there won«t be joy - if we
don«t die there won«t be eternity...A Guru in India laughed at me when I asked
him the protection question - he said the people in Europe are so
fearful that they even fear
the fear - Angst vor Angst - that«s why they limit ate themselves and keep too much
essentiel time worrying instead of creating - that«s when I
started putting even the
downsides of life into something more powerful than anything: REFLEXION of
protection....so what«s your ultimate vision in life after all?
Florian replied on Fri, 04/26/2013
- 13:54
FEAR
I agree. Fear is good as
long as we use it as an engine to transform it to something we create. This
will also help to lose the fear of fear - because we know it is only fear
and we can overcome it by
our own action. My ultimate vision in life? I think it is to see the beauty in
life and to be in harmony with my feelings, my thoughts and my
actions.
Mia-Florentine replied on
Fri, 04/26/2013 - 14:02
THAT«S BEAUTIFUL - BUT IT«S
that«s beautiful - but it«s
hard to bring together - if everything is peaceful I usually create chaos or a
scenario so I need to start all over again - it«s a kind of everlasting
engine....the power of
deconstruction! Like a child who«s happy to smash the BAUKL…TZE that he or she
piled up...
Florian replied on Fri,
04/26/2013 - 14:13
YES, A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE
WITH
Yes, a very good example
with the Bauklštze! What I mean is not a peaceful life without worries - I
think this would be very boring after a time. I mean to be in harmony
with oneself: also
embracing the bad feelings, the fear, the unexpected things and challenges in
life. Like to be ones own observer looking down on ourselves and smiling
while we watch ourselves
playing on earth :)

POEM OF THE DAY
My last thought last night
before my head touched the pillow was: How on earth did Marina Abramovic last
during her MOMA show 3 month motionless on a chair??? In
ARTIST IS PRESENT you get
the dash of an idea but how did she really feel during performing? My first
thought this morning on the way to the gallery was: I only have
three days left performing
DIGITAL AUTISM while actually doing what the rest of the modern world is doing
permanently every day anyway: Writing SMS and Emails!
What does that tell us?

day for Marina Mia: Dear Art! You are my thief You steal my days My Tears My

MY NEXT PERFROMANCE ...
For me the most
controversial place of protection is the incubator box - protected and isolated
at the same time - the Utopia of a place just like the womb ... that«s on my
mind right now and I just
performed it in Austria a few days ago - that«s why it«s such a clash of
feeling for me right now: in Innsbruck I was so isolated - almost naked
inside a transparent object
where everybody could touch me - and now yet on the contrary but strangely
enough it just feels the same - I am in stuck in this prison bed
almost like under a
K€SEGLOCKE where there seems to be an invisible shield around me so people are
just next to me but like invisble strangers who can only *touch*
me via internet - through
the multimedia milky way of cyberspace....

PEGASUS
Thank you so much for this
impact of beauty! Dann antworte ich eben auf deutsch: Schiller hat für
mich eine grosse Relevanz - aber nicht nur wegen seines Frieden
Gedichtes sondern
gleichermassen für Pazifismus stehend die Zeilen zu seinem
beflügeltem Friedenspferd: Pegasus im Joche Auf einen Pferdemarkt -
vielleicht zu
Haymarket, Wo andre Dinge
noch in Ware sich verwandeln, Bracht einst ein hungriger Poet Der Musen Ro§, es
zu verhandeln. Hell wieherte der Hippogryph Und
bŠumte sich in prŠchtiger
Parade; Erstaunt blieb jeder stehn und rief: ÈDas edle, kšnigliche Tier! Nur
schade, Da§ seinen schlanken Wuchs ein hŠ§lich Flügelpaar
Entstellt! Den schšnsten
Postzug würd es zieren. Die Rasse, sagen sie, sei rar, Doch wer wird
durch die Luft kutschieren? Und keiner will sein Geld verlieren.Ç Ein
Pachter endlich fa§te Mut.
ÈDie Flügel zwarÇ, spricht er, Èdie schaffen keinen Nutzen, Doch die kann
man ja binden oder stutzen, Dann ist das Pferd zum Ziehen immer
gut. Ein zwanzig Pfund, die
will ich wohl dran wagen.Ç Der TŠuscher, hochvergnügt, die Ware
loszuschlagen, SchlŠgt hurtig ein. ÈEin Mann, ein Wort!Ç Und Hans trabt
frisch mit seiner Beute
fort. Das edle Tier wird eingespannt. Doch fühlt es kaum die ungewohnte
Bürde, So rennt es fort mit wilder Flugbegierde Und wirft, von edelm
Grimm entbrannt, Den Karren
um an eines Abgrunds Rand. ÈSchon gutÇ, denkt Hans. ÈAllein darf ich dem tollen
Tiere Kein Fuhrwerk mehr vertraun. Erfahrung macht
schon klug. Doch morgen
fahr ich Passagiere, Da stell ich es als Vorspann in den Zug. Die muntre Krabbe
soll zwei Pferde mir ersparen, Der Koller gibt sich mit den
Jahren.Ç Der Anfang ging
ganz gut. Das leichtbeschwingte Pferd Belebt der Klepper Schritt, und
pfeilschnell fliegt der Wagen. Doch was geschieht? Den Blick den
Wolken zugekehrt, Und
ungewohnt, den Grund mit festem Huf zu schlagen, VerlŠ§t es bald der RŠder
sichre Spur, Und treu der stŠrkeren Natur, Durchrennt es Sumpf
und Moor, geackert Feld und
Hecken; Der gleiche Taumel fa§t das ganze Postgespann, Kein Rufen hilft, kein
Zügel hŠlt es an, Bis endlich, zu der Wandrer Schrecken,
Der Wagen,
wohlgerüttelt und zerschellt, Auf eines Berges steilem Gipfel hŠlt. ÈDas
geht nicht zu mit rechten DingenÇ, Spricht Hans mit sehr bedenklichem Gesicht.
ÈSo
wird es nimmermehr
gelingen; La§ sehn, ob wir den Tollwurm nicht Durch magre Kost und Arbeit
zwingen.Ç Die Probe wird gemacht. Bald ist das schšne Tier, Eh noch
drei Tage hingeschwunden,
Zum Schatten abgezehrt. ÈIch habs, ich habs gefunden!Ç Ruft Hans. ÈJetzt
frisch, und spannt es mir Gleich vor den Pflug mit meinem
stŠrksten Stier.Ç Gesagt,
getan. In lŠcherlichem Zuge Erblickt man Ochs und Flügelpferd am Pfluge.
Unwillig steigt der Greif und strengt die letzte Macht Der Sehnen an,
den alten Flug zu nehmen.
Umsonst, der Nachbar schreitet mit Bedacht, Und Phšbus' stolzes Ro§ mu§ sich
dem Stier bequemen, Bis nun, vom langen Widerstand
verzehrt, Die Kraft aus
allen Gliedern schwindet, Von Gram gebeugt das edle Gštterpferd Zu Boden
stürzt und sich im Staube windet. ÈVerwünschtes Tier!Ç bricht
endlich Hansens Grimm Laut
scheltend aus, indem die Hiebe flogen. ÈSo bist du denn zum Ackern selbst zu schlimm?
Mich hat ein Schelm mit dir betrogen.Ç Indem er
noch in seines Zornes Wut
Die Peitsche schwingt, kommt flink und wohlgemut Ein lustiger Gesell die Stra§e
hergezogen. Die Zither klingt in seiner leichten Hand, Und
durch den blonden Schmuck
der Haare Schlingt zierlich sich ein goldnes Band. ÈWohin, Freund, mit dem
wunderlichen Paare?Ç Ruft er den Baur von weitem an. ÈDer
Vogel und der Ochs an einem
Seile, Ich bitte dich, welch ein Gespann! Willst du auf eine kleine Weile Dein
Pferd zur Probe mir vertraun, Gib acht, du sollst dein Wunder
schaun!Ç Der Hippogryph
wird ausgespannt, Und lŠchelnd schwingt sich ihm der Jüngling auf den
Rücken. Kaum fühlt das Tier des Meisters sichre Hand, So knirscht
es
in des Zügels Band
Und steigt, und Blitze sprühn aus den beseelten Blicken, Nicht mehr das
vorge Wesen, kšniglich, Ein Geist, ein Gott, erhebt es sich, Entrollt mit
einemmal in Sturmes Wehen
Der Schwingen Pracht, schie§t brausend himmelan, Und eh der Blick ihm folgen
kann, Entschwebt es zu den blauen Hšhen.

PEGASUS IN HARNESS
At a horse market - perhaps
Haymarket, Where other things even transform itself into a commodity, Applied
once a hungry poet Steed of the Muses, to negotiate it.
Light whinnied the Hippogriff
And reared in a magnificent parade; Each stand was amazed and exclaimed:
"The noble, royal beast! Just a pity That its slender stature, a
hideous pair of wings
Disfigured! It'd decorate the most beautiful mail train. The race, they say, is
rare, But who will be chauffeured through the air? And no one wants to
lose money. " A
Pachter finally took courage. "The wing though," he says, "that
create no benefit But yes you can tie or clip, Then the horse to draw is always
good. A
twenty pounds, which I will
probably venture it. " The Deceiver, highly amused to strike the goods,
Proposes a briskly. "A man, a word!" Hans fresh and trots away with
his booty. The noble animal
is clamped. But it hardly feels the unfamiliar burden So it runs off with a
wild desire Flight And throws, burning with wrath edelm, The cart to
the edge of a precipice.
"All right," thought Hans. "But I must the great animals No more
wagon confide. Experience makes even wise. But tomorrow I'll drive passengers
As I imagine it as a bias
in the train. The merry crab to spare me two horses, Koller gives himself over
the years. " The beginning went quite well. The light-winged horse
Revives the Klepper step,
and swift as an arrow flies the car. But what happens? The view facing the
clouds, And unfamiliar to hit the ground with solid hoof, Leaves
soon the wheels sichre
track And true to the stronger nature, Charge through it by swamp and marsh,
plowed field and hedges; The same wobble sums up the whole
post trailer, Call no help,
no reins keeps at it, Until finally, to the wanderer terror The car, well
shaken and shattered, Holds on a steep mountain peaks. "It's not about
having the right
things" Hans speaks with a very dubious face. "That will never
succeed; Let me see, not whether we have the Great Worm Force by meager fare
and
work. " The sample is
taken. Soon, the beautiful animal, Eh three more days to go esch sore,
Emaciated to the shadows. "I have it, I found habs!" Hans calls.
"Now,
fresh, and it stretched me
Equal to the plow with my strongest bull. " Said and done. In the course
ridiculous One sees the ox and plow horse on the wings. Unwilling
increases the gripping and
hard the last power The tendons to take the old airport. In vain, the neighbor
below wisely And Phoebus' proud steed must be the bull
convenient, Until now,
consumed by the long resistance, The force of all the members disappears, Of
Gram bowed the noble horse gods Falls to the ground and writhes
in the dust. "Accursed
beast!" Finally breaks Hansen Grimm According scolding from the bats flew
by. "So are you for plowing itself to bad? I was a rogue cheated with
you. " While he was
still in his anger rage The whip swings, comes fast and cheerfully A boon
companion, the road moved here. The zither sounds in his light hand, And
by the blond hair jewelry
Wraps dainty a golden band. "Where, friend, with the whimsical
couples?" He calls the Baur from afar. "The Bird and the ox by a
rope, I ask you,
what a team! Want a little
while Your Horse Sample confide to me Take heed, you shall behold your miracle!
" The hippogriff is unclamped, And smiling to the boy
swinging him on the back.
Hardly feels the animal sichre hand of the Master, So it crunches in the rein
band And rising, and lightning Evereven from the soulful gaze, No
longer the pre-beings,
royal, A spirit, a god, it rises, Unrolls a sudden storm in labor The swing
splendor, shoots roaring skyward, And before the view can follow him It
soars to the heights blue.

THE PEGASUS IS NOT A HORSE
The Pegasus is not a horse
nor an angel - it«s an alien - just like me or the rest of us who are different
- it is as a simple but profound metaphor that Schiller is using - a
horse with wings has no use
for the human beings - it can«t work nor does it make any sense to anyone who
thinks inside a box - only a poet who comes across touches
the Pegasus gently so his
wings can spread and he can fly away into heaven....there again is the
metaphorical aspect of touching - every creature needs to be touched -
and the Ecce Home as crown
of the evolution - would be dying if there was no touching - so in a way it
resembles the incubator box where touching is reduced to the limit
of putting your hand in a
whole - or coming back to the actual perfromance I am in right now - if beings
touch their technical tools such as iPad iMac or iphone more than
themselves than there is
alert.... simply the movement towards DIGITAL AUTISM!

it«s Utopia of course but - since the last illusion before disillusion is love
- I have this vision of a womb to be my place of protection - whether it«s the
actual one or just a
metaphor i am not quite sure myself - all I want by asking that question that
reflexion starts and YOU make something out of it yourself...so what`s
your place of protection ?
I did an installation that invites the viewer to experience how often this
question has animated people to spontaneously express deeply
personal,statements that
extend well beyond the notion of mere physical inviolability. Again and again
those questioned seem at first to be struck with wonder by what
they are being asked. But,
as Plato already noted: Wonder is where all philosophy begins...

OH LA LA ...FRAUNACHBAR!
Thanxx for the virtual
flowers! My neighbour - who is actually a painter himself - and me have a crazy
story that combines us - and I like to share it because it«s another
metaphor for the digital
autism I am performing since thursday in Berlin, so here we go: SInce nearly 3
years I have a studio in an old warehouse where only offices are
and the only humans living
in this surrounding is my neighbor - one of the last Dandies and me - the crazy
girl. I like to emphasize the fact of a young girl ( well not so
young anymore ;-) and an
older man ( not so old of course ;-) just like in a Thomas Mann novel for
instance THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN because it gets a movie character
this way....Anyway, the
neighbor and I never see each other - unless a few times in those years when we
happen to empty the trash in the yard! We like each others face
book comments, write sms
from time to time, share invites and events via email, talk on the phone every
now and again - like last time when I called him in the middle of
the night because I had to
smash 3 prison beds from my Documenta perfromance to take them to Berlin and
the noise was so loud that I feared he would be falling out of
his bed .... my point is:
We never talk and see each other - it«s a virtual way of knowing of each other
but our lives seem to be so busy that we don«t even have time to
share a simple coffee or
manage to have a REAL conversation - another way of digital autism! So Mr.
neighbor - when I will survive this shit and don«t end up in the
lunatic cell we will have a
date! Done!

Mia-Florentine replied on

PROTECTION?
Hi Rainer, now I get it - I
totally feel that art needs protection - just like any other diverse range of
human activities and their products - the ones who produce it need
protection big time as well
since they expose their inner feelings to the public - there is a german word
called UNGEBORGENHEIT - this you can feel everywhere so why
not within art? Protection
is no solution but an idea or a vision which could make be liberating ....

PROTECTION
I've always been sacred and
feel that I do not have any place where I can truly come to rest. I sometimes
feel this is a symptom of our sped-up/fed-up material world.You
went to India for example
and visited some of the poorest people in the world. How do you think do they
find spiritual protection? They seem invincible in their beliefs.
Mia-Florentine replied on

THE LESS YOU FEAR THE LESS
The less you fear the less
you need to worry! My Guru in India would always say - to any sorts of
problems, worries or concerns: GIVE IT TO HARI! Hari is a sanskrit
word and often used as a
name for Vishnu, a Hindu God. It goes with a hand movement where you pretend as
though you through something behind you ;-* At first you
feel funny doing it but
since in India everything feels strange you get used to it very soon! My
deepest experience actually was when I stayed at an orphan try to work
with the homeless kids - I
did not think I would have the strenght to do but it was my blessing - almost
as though the spoilt rich kid from the western world enters a kind of
transmission zone where no
rules where the way I would know them - simply life lay infront of me and I had
the chance to embrace it - which I did... I wanna show you
something, Peter Pan:

MEIN BETT
The story of the bed... my
bed comes from a prison in Kassel where hundreds of prisoners slept in until
it«s closing a few years ago - so per se it«s a bed with a history -
which is an important
contradiction because usually a bed is a comfort zone and nice and comfy right?
This is not he case here - the perfromance PEACE NEVER
SLEEPS is really about
placing something from one world into a different environment - so I sleep
outside where as the opposite the bed takes place in the gallery space
where I am digitally
autistic and wide awake via drugs we all consume every day: digital technology!
Your question is really important because it«s the essence of what I
am doing - the answer is
kind of like my Leitmotiv - IN BETWEEN! Torn between the two worlds - the
condition of protection / fear , live / death , desire / addiction , health
/ sickness and so on and on
.... after all there is no safe place - it«s all about where the bed makes the
most sense! I might not even be in it if I put it in the middle of a war
zone because it says it all
by itself - perfection is reached when nothing can be taken away .... I am on
my way there ....the nucleus of things!

THE BOY WITHOUT THE
DREAM....
I feel I can trust you so I
wanna share the story with you: In the orphantry near Rishikesh are all the
children no one wants - ones have worse stories than others - it goes
from prostitution to
begging, living on the streets and diseases to any horror you can possibly
think of and in our world just seems like a foreign nightmare - the boy
without the dream has a
scarf on his head - and never talked - until I was with him a few times - he
stopped talking after his whole family died in a an accident - they were
so poor - his parents and
his 7 siblings that every night they sleppt in the gutter with only the shirt
they are wearing as a cushion - one night a truck lost control and killed
all of them ...except him!
I don«t know how many years agao it was but after the accident the boy never
said a word - thats why I dedicated one poem clip to him bceause
he finally did answer my
question of protection: I DON`T HAVE ANY DREA! Now that makes me cry thinking
of it....

life so to speak sitting on the H letter and feeling the wind
blowing in my wings
fighting with my strength whether I would fall down or not...This symbol is so
important for me because it reflects the hypocracy of Hollywood -
Everybody in LA is chasing
their dream but only one little minority makes it - the rest is slowely fading
away just like the sunset over Venice beach where I stayed with the
homeless for my Art Angel
performance - Hollywood is both - the landmark visualizing our dreams but at
the same time it is hope as well as despair .... and it«s the most

HOLLYWOOD SIGN / WIKIPEDIA
The Hollywood Sign (formerly
known as the Hollywoodland Sign) is a landmark and American cultural icon
located in Los Angeles, California. It is situated on Mount Lee
in the Hollywood Hills area
of the Santa Monica Mountains. The sign overlooks the Hollywood district of Los
Angeles. "HOLLYWOOD" is spelled out in 45-foot-tall (14 m)
[1] and 350-foot-long (110
m) white capital letters. It was originally created as an advertisement for
local real estate development in 1923, but garnered increasing
recognition after the sign
was left up.[2] The sign was a frequent target of pranks and vandalism but has
since undergone restoration, including the installation of a
security system to deter
vandalism. The sign is protected and promoted by the Hollywood Sign Trust, a
nonprofit organization. From the ground, the contours of the hills
give the sign its
"wavy" appearance, as reflected in the Hollywood Video logo, for
example. When observed at a comparable altitude, as in the photo shown on the
right,
the letters appear nearly
level. The sign makes frequent appearances in popular culture, particularly in
establishing shots for films and television programs set in or
around Hollywood. Signs of
similar style, but spelling different words, are frequently seen as parodies.

I would be consumed in that

because it serenely
disdains to annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying. And so I hold myself back
and swallow the call-note of my dark sobbing. Ah, whom can we ever
turn to in our need? Not
angels, not humans, and already the knowing animals are aware that we are not
really at home in our interpreted world. Rilke - the first elegy

THE MIRROR OF THE PEOPLE
I just got a rather curious
answer: THE MIRROR! How can a mirror be a place of protection? Does anyone have
an answer to that? I thought about it ALL day and now I
am ready to answer ....a
mirror is nothing else but a way of projection - if you look inside you can see
yourself and that«s the naked truth - when does that ever happen ?
Usually we try to create
scenarios around us to make us more visible - the curse of our society which is
spinning only around the superlatives higher faster richer better
(schšner) etc but the
mirror is kind of like a one way street - yet also fascinating because it has a
depth in terms of the space around us if we watch our silhoutte - a
mirror is another symbolic
thing where I necessarily need to think of the fairytale and the famouse
sentence: mirror mirror on the wall - who is the fairest one of all?

Today something crazy came
to my mind - I saw some of the material from yesterday and there was something
which hit me the most: I am in my digital world and
looked up and away chatting
and mailing away - 8 hours a day without any break - the total aclypse of
digital overkill - and each morning I go into my bed there is a girl
sitting on the chair in the
gallery space to watch over everything - the first glimpse of her is with her
iPhone texting and the last when the performance is done as well -
which leads to the
conclusion: I AM THE MIRROR OF THE PEOPLE! You don«t need to be in a synthetic

PASSION
I have a little music
studio finally, without internet access. I have never felt so protected than
when I'm there, it's just me and musical equipment. Me and the inspiration
that's challenging me.
There I feel protected, as I feel that cultivating our passion is the way to be
stronger, to feel always beautifully balanced.

CUT LOOSE
Congratulations, cowboy!
What a brave and beautiful thing to do - not having wifi at your cave of
creativity - I went to the German *Waldorfschule* before I changed to the
*Gymnasium* and the best
what I kept from this time is that I still don«t have a TV ;-* I don«t even
switch the television on in a Hotel room - it just has no more meaning in
my life....no matter that I
am a performing artist who uses digital technology to create - it«s just like a
tool for me not something that would inspire me just by itself - the
Internet should work the
same - a service you can use if you need - but we should be in control of it
and not the service of us. In other words we should be driving on the
net but the net shall not
be driving us!

WHY DO YOU USE A FORMER
PRISON BED?
I think some People live in
their selfmade prisons to protect themselves. Me too sometimes. With thoughts
or Things i do over and over.

PRISON BED
The bed of peace comes from
an isolation cell of a former prison in Kassel - a prison bed resembles a
strong antagonism: protection and it«s antitheses! The biggest
prison could be oneself -
our own body - the unability to step or think out of the box - in the bible it
says - you shall not make for yourself an idol - but think about it? Who
often are you really not
judgmental???

PRISON
I had a self made prison in
order to protect myself.In order not to feel the pain and be overrolled by my
emotions sadness and huge lack of comfort i had put them all in
prison.It always took alot
of energy from me to play the guard of these prisoners. And erverytime when I
did that I was a temporary diconected with my heart. But actually
I was the prisoner and the
emotion my guards. Until this wall of protection compleetly exploded one day.
Now I released all of them " wegen guter Führung und positiver
Resozialisierung". The
prison is closed now forever, because of a lack of prisoners.

of mine ever had on me as well as the
audience - my gallerist

you can be free? This one

ART TALK AUSTRIA
Artdepot Innsbruck &
Künstlerin Mia Florentine Weiss laden am 03.05.2013 zum art talk in
Innsbruck ¥ ã(s)he says – shes saysÒ – hinterfragt in einer
Live-Diskussion
die künstlerischen
Leitmotive zur aktuellen Ausstellung THOSE IN LOVE LIVE IN FEAR ¥ Mixed-media
Installationen mit Fokus auf Geborgenheit und
Lebensnotwendigkeit
menschlicher Berührungen noch bis zum 06.06.2013 im artdepot zu sehen Die
Sehnsucht nach Schutz und NŠhe und die kontroversen Facetten
des Gefühls Liebe
prŠgen die Werke der Künstlerin Mia Florentine Weiss. AusgewŠhlte
Stücke werden derzeit im Innsbrucker artdepot prŠsentiert. Unter dem
Titel
ãTHOSE IN LOVE LIVE IN
FEARÒ stellt die 33jŠhrige die Extreme menschlicher Gefühle einander
gegenüber. So beschŠftigen sich ihre ausgestellten mixed-media
Installationen, Foto- und
Videoarbeiten u.a. mit ãLiebe/UnliebeÒ, ãGeborgenheit/UngeborgenheitÒ,
ãSucht/SehnsuchtÒ, ãAngst/HoffnungÒ sowie ãLeben/TodÒ. Die Eršffnung
der Vernissage begleitete
Mia Florentine Weiss am 23. April 2013 mit der Live Performance ãPLEASE DO
TOUCH - TOUCHING CAN HEAL THE ART!Ò. Und mit dieser
Performance traf die
Künstlerin mitten ins Herz der Galeriebesucher: In einem lebensgro§en
Inkubator-Objekt führte die Künstlerin dem Betrachter die
verschwimmende
Grenze zwischen Schutz und
Schutzlosigkeit vor Augen und zeigte gleichzeitig die Lebensnotwendigkeit
menschlicher Berührung auf. Die Anteilnahme und die Šu§erst
emotionalen Reaktionen der
Zuschauer überw.ltigten die Künstlerin. Ihre Erfahrungen aus dieser
Performance sowie die Leitmotive ihres künstlerischen Schaffens
diskutiert Mia Florentine
Weiss am 03.05.2013, 19 Uhr gemeinsam mit Dr. Michaela Preiner
(Kunsthistorikerin, Herausgeberin der "European-Cultural-News" sowie
Kuratorin einiger gro§er
šffentlicher Sammlungen) unter dem Titel ã(s)he says - she saysÒ im Innsbrucker

This is probably the most
honest answer there is - when I was traveling I interviewd the people so it was
direct - often the question was not quiet understood - which was
like putting the key into a
lock because this way I would be in a dialog straight away - What is your place
of protection? What do you mean by it? Is it a place ? I don«t get
the question? etc etc -
simsalabim they were right in the middle of it ;-* The word PROECTION is rather
strong - not something tender like love, dream, vision etc - its
powerful and male - SCHUTZ!
There is a wide intrerpretation towards it.... The experiment the last few days
- apart of my digital autism - is the difference how people
respond when the are filmed
or when it«s more anonymous like in this chat - where you can even put a fake
name in and you have time to think about the answer - I think
we are much less concerned
when it comes to the Internet because it«s like a Fluxus - so fast moving that
whatever you say is replaced by the next after the next after

PROTECTED
I feel fine! It would never
occur to me that something could happen...and I don«t see the people anyway - I
have no idea who is here nor how many people. Let me
explain: I wear my
grandmother«s nightgown from the beginning of the 20.th century in which I did
my very first perfomance nearly one decade ago - first layer of
protection! Than I wear
earplugs and listen to hard core techno the whole time I am in bed! Second
section! Finally I wear my glasses and focus on the writing - all the
good things are 3! For
every performance you need to be very clear what you want to achieve and how it
will be perceived - than it«s just a matter of enduring! The bed
inside the gallery is easy
- the data overkill is the pain - in front of the Fridericianum at the
Documenta the pain was trying to be asleep outside without the artificial
differentiation - anyone
could have touched or done something to me .... it«s the will to finish off
what you started and never to give up - otherwise you can«t do it

NOT "WHAT" BUT

Mia - I could not bring
myself to answer your question because the question did not lead me to a
fulfilling answer. When you ask, "what is your place of protection?"
the
mind goes straight into the
material world to find an answer. Could it be my bed? - No, as much as I tend
to have dreams in it, I've also had nightmares. Any material
thing can be both
protective and destructive, depending on the situation. The thing about your
question is that, out loud, you are asking for someone's place of protection,
yet in silently you are
also asking them for their fears and fragilities; the things they feel the need
to be protected. I wonder what came first, the shield or the sword
(metaphorically speaking).
But ultimately I realized that I could only approach your question if asked
differently: "When is your place of protection?" Because my place of
protection is not an
external structure but rather, for lack of better words, a
"spiritual" infrastructure. Not a place but the feeling of a fleeting
moment. Those moments
when I do not protect
myself from anything; those moments when I'm so vulnerably confident that I
could die right there and then and be okay with it. I'm sure we all feel
those moments from time to
time; where no shield and no sword feel necessary for this journey. My
protection, my shelter, my refuge; the thing that secures that i risk
taking the next loving
breath is when i closely and entirely grasp how vulnerable and fragile we
really are. I tend to know exactly what to do after those moments.

I WISH ...
I wish had not finished the
installation because I certainly would have added your answer - it«s just the
way I would like to encourage everyone out there to find their own
interpretation of
protection - if one goes further by replacing the *what*with *when* it«s a
different dimension which beautiful - what is interesting is that by having
lived in
our western society - what
you probably refer by as the material world - that was one of the reasons for
the question - so the answer would break free and lead into
another world which we
might not even know of....that«s why I took the shield and sword to India - 2
symbolic insiginas of our history - trying to go beyond - for each of us
comes the time in life
where you drop your weapons - what ever they are - this unconditional
vulnerability which is nothing but unconditional love - with me I always need
the opposite in order to
get to the other side....

WWW.ART-PROTECTOR.COM
I was asked about the
video-installation and how to watch all answers which I chose so if you want
check out: www.art-protector.com The previous century can still be
comprehended as the period
of Òtranscendental homelessnessÓ Georg Luk‡cs described in 1918. Even today,
the proverbial Ôsearch for securityÕ has, in addition to its
literal meaning, a
relatively large number of troubling connotations aimed at the sensibilities of
the homeless earthlings we ourselves have become. Whether it lies in the
vulnerability generated by
our mobile lifestyles, or in the repercussions of globalisation that make our
wish for Ôa home we can call our ownÕ seem purely nostalgic: in
each case the experience of
feeling safe, protected and at home seems to be fading into oblivion. Has
anyone recently raised the question? Mia Florentine Weis has
spent the past 10 years of
her life on a journey. During her travels she asked everyone she encountered
one simple yet confounding question: ÒWhat is your place of
protection?Ó The question
forbids us the typical differentiations (such as Òwhere do you live?Ó or Òwhere
do you feel at home?Ó or Òdo you feel safe?Ó), thus forcing us to
first reflect upon the
manifold dimensions of ÔprotectionÕ we seldom think about. For if there is a
place where we feel protected and secure, what does such protection
ultimately mean? Protection
from whom? And for what? To many, it seems the world is still full of peril.
But a place free from violence does not appear to adequately
answer the question. Mia
Florentine Weiss has culled together the results of her inquiry in a multimedia
installation entitled What Is Your Place Of Protection?. Each of
the installationÕs 54
digital clips is based upon a poetry performance by the artist and offers its
own answer to this question. The installation invites the viewer to
experience how often this
question has animated people to spontaneously express deeply personal, even
metaphysical statements that extend well beyond the notion of
mere physical
inviolability. Again and again those questioned seem at first to be struck with
wonder by what they are being asked. But, as Plato already noted: Wonder is
where all philosophy
begins....

UTERUS AND ONE MORE
ANSWER....
Coming back to the origin:
My place of protection is the Uterus - it is here where *everything is eternal
in the innermost relatives*. I feel there are no words needed to
explain any more - that«s
why I would like to share something really special now as a result of being
looked up in DIGITAL AUTISM: Within the perfromance I found a
second place of protection
which is so obvious that I never really knew it until today - probably because
one cannot see the forest for the trees - it«s WORDS! Without
words I could have not
survived this multimedia marathon - without words I would have not been able to
endure those long days in bed - without words I could have not
been able to communicate my
feelings and without words I would have not gotten all those beautiful honest
answers! I am not sure where we are heading in terms of
technology and development
but there is definitley one complex codex which will keep the inner world
together although the outer world might fall apart and that is
communication! I thank everybody
who made the effort writing to me sharing their feelings and therefore saving
me from the one way road of data traffic jam in my head
during the time of the
performance! LOVE AND THANXXX MIA FLORENTINE
