I'm Not Here Says The Void

We embrace the void to avoid the emptiness. Julian Hetzel [Baden-Württemberg, 1981] cannot get enough of this paradox. His performance I’m Not Here Says The Void deals with 21st-century boredom, loneliness and fear of touch. Among talking curtains [sic], a sensitive sofa that responds to tip-touch and dancing foil two performers create a dark, confusing universe. Theatre, dance, visual art and electronic minimal music are our guides.
With his visual work Julian Hetzel is conquering festivals across Europe. Not for the faint-hearted: I’m Not Here Says The Void asks visitors to recognise that reality is only a fabrication by the observer.
