KIM OKURA, WIENSPRING 2023 “Frühlingswiese mit Kleingarten Parzelle” (Spring Meadow with Allotment Plot) Spring Celebration Performance (Silent Performance)
EN +++ Update Vienna, 22. April +++ #WIENSPRING23 (finally today the weather is ok for the p.)
What an experience: all 1,111 pieces of “Wing spreading Memories” found new owners. People laughed, waved, talked, hugged and took pictures. There were even a few glistening tears and a bit of grumbling. #viennalove
My motivating thought for the day was that if I can build up just one person a little bit with the campaign, if I can lift her wings a little bit, then it has paid off.
The feedback that reached me during my almost 3.5 hour tour*** was almost overwhelming – and the laughter after the explanation that I’m neither a Minecraft Creeper nor an Appel mascot, nor that I’m advertising the Gras Shop on KNT Street, were in themselves an experience that I will hopefully always remember.
Performance food walk:
Start point Wiedner Werkstaette 1050 VIE Vienna, AUT
per pedes to Stephansplatz and
back again Wiedner Werkstaette
Total performance time approx 3.5h
Hashtag: #wienspring23
Disguised as a “spring meadow with allotment plot”, I will be distributing 1.111 symbols of elevating memories in Vienna on Saturday.
The symbols as well as the costume are self-produced and the costume is impossible to ignore. This WIENSPRING 2023 Action sees itself as a silent & quiet spring festival performance and is characterized by empowerment and encouragement.
The performance begins on April 22, Saturday at 2:00 p.m. as usual in front of the Wiedner Werkstätte, then it’s on foot via Wieder Hauptstraße and Kärntner Straße to the destination of Stephansplatz, maybe I also do a stroll via Graben. Depending on constitution and/or weather.
The performance campaign has the hashtag #WIENSPRING23
Anyone who sees a “Spring Meadow with Allotment Plot” wandering in Vienna and take a picture, can tag his/her/them photo with this hashtag. I’ll be happy to reposted.
