Ieke Trinks, ‘Act I’ (2007)
A performance that took place during a party. The performer was dressed somewhat clown-like and was a member of the audience. The performer sat, walked around, made small-talk, observed, drank, attempted to snatch peanuts and smokes. Afterwards a report of the performer’s experience was made. This report, combined with pictures of the particular evening and a discreet male voice-over, were put together into a video.
Barbara Visser
‘Lecture with actress’ (1997)
For a discussion night on the topic of reality and fiction, the artist was invited to talk about her practice. Instead, Visser employed a tall blond actress with no previous knowledge of her work, to do the lecture instead, equipped with an invisible earpiece, repeating – almost in slow motion – the words prompted to her by the artist.
‘Lecture on lecture with actress’ (2004)
[…] a different actress giving a lecture, again as Barbara Visser, on the first performance, illustrating her talk with video footage. Self (re)presentation becomes entangled in conceptual strategies that result in carefully choreographed confusion. (text by Sven Lütticken)
‘Last lecture’ (2007), by Barbara Visser
In this last episode a full circle is made. In this performance, the two previous videos projected, and the artist, seen only in the form of a silhouette behind the screen, is dubbing the voice of the second actress, who in her lecture, is recalling the first event.

Erased Pictures from Flash Art Nr.259 (2008) by Maria Anwander
The information from the pictures erased from an art magazine (flash art nr. 259) is saved in the crumbs of the eraser. Each picture is packed in a plastic bag numbered with the page belonging to it. The viewer can only imagine what pictures were shown by reading the text.

Diana Duta, ‘Keeping time’ (2010)
Diana Duta translated the lyrics of Romanian pop-songs from her birthyear to phonetic English. These lyrics were sung by her (non-Romanian) friends and recorded to tape with Duta playing drums in the background. During the exhibition ‘If you say something, see something’ at Tent., Rotterdam, she asked employees of the space to wear T-shirts she had silkscreened with the lyrics.
Check the edit she made of the recordings here.
