Das \u00dcberqueren eines Zebrastreifens stellt im Rahmen der allt\u00e4glichen Fortbewegung im st\u00e4dtischen Raum eine routinierte Handlung dar, die kaum bewusste Aufmerksamkeit erzielt. Umso ungew\u00f6hnlicher erscheint das Video Work No. 1701<\/em> (2013) des britischen K\u00fcnstlers Martin Creed, der sieben gehbehinderte Menschen beim \u00dcberqueren einer Stra\u00dfenkreuzung in New York portraitiert. Die k\u00fcnstlerische Intention besteht jedoch nicht in einer respektlosen Vorf\u00fchrung der Behinderungen. Vielmehr wird der Zebrastreifen zur \u00f6ffentlichen B\u00fchne der einzelnen Personen, die, unter Verzicht von Gehhilfen, teils hinkend, h\u00fcpfend oder aber r\u00fcckw\u00e4rts robbend die Stra\u00dfenseite wechseln. Martin Creed, ebenfalls Musiker, unterlegt diese Bewegungsperformance mit dem Song You Return<\/em> aus seinem zweiten Album Mind Trap.<\/em><\/p>\n

Die spezielle Inszenierung verweist zum einen auf Martin Creeds Interesse an den vielf\u00e4ltigen Arten der menschlichen Fortbewegung, die er innerhalb seines k\u00fcnstlerischen Schaffens immer wieder thematisiert. Zum anderen ist im Fokus die Wirkung des \u00f6ffentlichen Raums durch die Unterminierung allt\u00e4glicher und unbewusst ablaufender Wahrnehmungsprozesse.<\/p>\n

In everyday movement through city spaces, traversing a crosswalk is a routine action that scarcely receives attention. So it is all the more remarkable to experience the video Work No. 1701<\/em> (2013) by the British artist Martin Creed, who presents seven persons who are able only with difficulty to cross an intersection in New York. The artistic intention, however, does not consist in a disrespectful display of their disabilities. Instead the crosswalk becomes a public stage for these individuals who, without recourse to mechanical support, cross the street while partly limping, hopping, or sliding backwards on their bellies. Martin Creed, who is also a musician, accompanies this movement performance with the song You Return<\/em> from his second album Mind Trap.<\/em><\/p>\n

On the one hand, this special staging indicates Martin Creed\u2019s interest in the various types of human movement which are repeatedly the theme of his artistic production. On the other hand, he likewise focuses on the impact of public spaces by undermining daily perceptual processes that occur unconsciously.<\/p>\n
