- 1992
Indiscreet was the first event in the ‘richtig 92’ series and focussed on all kinds of private documents. The one-hour film epic ‘Angelika, because she wanted to be happy’ by Torsten Alisch showed episodes from Angelika's life, captured by her husband Dieter's Super 8 camera. The film was edited exclusively from material from the flea market. An installation consisting of two parts was presented in the suggestion of domestic happiness, a white garden fence, an armchair, a floor lamp. ‘Vanne, la ville del Mystère’ was the correspondence of two friends on oversized postcards. ‘Theo W. Diary of a Cosmopolitan’ allowed visitors to relive a one-day trip around the world at the International Tourism Fair in a photo album. The third part of the event included an installation by Marianne Tralau. From a private slide archive (11,600 slides), she had placed 300 little picture frames neatly sorted into Alpine landscapes, hotel rooms, the Black Forest and so on on the floor, allowing visitors to stalk through dwarf land like Gulliver. Finally, the private lives on display were woven together in a fictional pulp novel. The novel was written by two of the organisers and jointly designed . For the event itself, the windows of the 'Friseur' were completely covered in black. Only two small round holes allowed visitors to see into the event space, which was lit exclusively by red light. Indiskret was a small multimedia spectacle that moved between satire, peep show and art.
