LIFE, OH LIFE AUDIO EXERCISE

Des’ree said it: “Life, oh life, oh life, oh life, doo, doot doot doo.”

The ice caps are melting, the rich keep getting richer, animals are chewing on their own tumors in cages, and still the human being regards himself a priority to everything. Life, what to do with it? How do you give meaning and purpose to life when you get stuck in a clusterfuck of ideals, being mindful, consuming mindfulness through an app on your phone and showing it off on instagram?

With the Life, oh Life Audio Exercise Club Gewalt takes you on a meditative practice that puts your individual self out of the center of attention. Via your headphones you hear a minimal music composition of 40 minutes that takes you in a journey along everyday objects and less ordinary phenomena. An exercise in standing still. The audio exercise also includes a special art piece that you can take home as a reminder.

The Life, oh Life Audio Exercise is designed for Weelde Rotterdam and will be presented there this summer. you can participate every Sunday of August 2020. If you own a pair of headphones, please take them with you.
