A year ago Schr\u00f6der was invited by \u201cCity of Wandsbek\u201d to roll mono-wheels made from manuscripts in the streets of Hamburg-Wandsbek and through a near shopping mall. He asked passengers to through dices and contribute a number of letters equally to the numbers on the dice. Over the days from May 8th<\/sup> to 30th<\/sup> Schr\u00f6der collected around 8000 letters, which were written by markers in different colors and thickness on the surfaces of the wheels. By rolling them the rotating objects generated sequences of words, names and tags depending on how members of the audience would look at the object.<\/p>\n

Historically wheels of poetry were the latest objects in a series, in which Schr\u00f6der recycles parts of his archive. \u00a0He started around 2000 to glue piles of manuscripts to carpets, which he for the first time showed as stage design of \u201cBotenb\u00f6serm\u00e4r\u201d (messengersofbadnews) in 2003. This theatrical piece, in which Necla Akg\u00fcn combined the reports of ancient messengers, who had bad news in Greek tragedies of Aishylos, Sophocles and Euripides like \u201cThe Persians\u201d, \u201cMedea\u201d, \u201cAntigone\u201d etc.<\/p>\n

Later Schr\u00f6der showed new and bigger versions of these objects to manifest that performance-art does not have traditional spaces like the opera, the cinema, the music-hall, the theatre, the painting-collection etc. \u00a0Elements built out of the paper-carpets were used as models of ambulant architecture like hangars, which could be used to store relicts of performances or even host performances.<\/p>\n

Liberated Letters<\/h2>\n

Installations of that kind were realized during performance-festivals at Szczecin and Salzau www.performance-festival.de<\/a> und during conferences of Performance Studies international<\/em> (PSi) in New York, Mainz, Copenhagen und Utrecht. However the roots of his dealing with letters dig deeper in his personal art-history, in which he got early inspirations by the French Afficists<\/em> in the 1960s and the Lettrist<\/em> or Parole in libert\u00e0<\/em> of the Futurists.<\/p>\n

In relation to the liberated words of the Futurists Schr\u00f6der calls the writings on his paper-objects \u201eLiberated Letters\u201c, which can be also read of recited in front of audiences.<\/p>\n
