Karawane by Hugo Ball

The [Karawane] WHAT:

Hugo Ball‘s superlative sound poem performed once in two bleached video formats: positive and negative.

Jolifanto bambla o falli bambla

Großiga m’pfa habla horem

Egiga goramen

Higo bloiko russula huju

Hollaka hollala

Anlogo bung

Blago bung

Blago bung

Bosso fataka

ü üü ü

Schampa wulla wussa olobo

Hej tatta gorem

Eschige zunbada

Wulubu ssubudu uluwu ssubudu

Tumba ba – umf

Kusagauma

Ba – umf

The [Karawane] WHY:

Interpreting something which appears close to be meaningless is cultural terrorism in a world where everything should serve the established purpose. DaDa was cultural terrorism, DaDa is therefore for our times, when the ‘integrated’ presence of the middle-class + BAME + LGBTQ+ arts establishment threatens cultural terrorism at its core, not the other way around. As act Karawane defies and defiles the expectations of any statement ever made and as vigorously undermines itself, at the same time.
