Elisabeth von Samsonow and Juergen Teller: The Parents’ Bedroom Show

The project deals with the architecture of time involved in the practice of the performing art. The show is based on Samsonow’s performance “The Parents’ Bedroom Show”, realized in Munich in a public space and documented by Juergen Teller, that deals with the tension between the public and the intimate, and gravitates around Freudian fantasies. The parents’ bedroom appears as a crossroad for individual and collective histories/biographies. It is supposed to be the origin of the Will to Knowledge.
