Disembodied lips allow speech from elsewhere, from other organs, be it the stomach (ventriloquism) or the genitals. Gut of Gab is an homage to Johann Georg Hamann, whom Kierkegaard called “the greatest humorist in history.”



Johann Georg Hamann (/ˈhɑːmən/; German: [ˈhaːman]; 27 August 1730 – 21 June 1788) was a German philosopher, whose work was used by his student J. G. Herder as a main support of the Sturm und Drang movement, and associated by historian of ideas Isaiah Berlin with the Counter-Enlightenment.[6] However, recent scholarship, such as that by theologian Oswald Bayer, describes Hamann as a "radical Enlightener" who vigorously opposed dogmatic rationalism in matters of philosophy and faith.[7] Bayer views him as less the proto-Romantic that Herder presented, and more a premodern-postmodern thinker who brought the consequences of Lutheran theology to bear upon the burgeoning Enlightenment and especially in reaction to Kant.[8] Goethe and Kierkegaard were among those who considered him to be the finest mind of his time.[9]

Slavs and Tatars beschäftigen sich mit dem geografischen Gebiet zwischen der ehemaligen Berliner Mauer und der Chinesischen Mauer.
Das geografische Gebiet der Slaven und Tataren ist ein kultureller Schmelztiegel: größtenteils muslimisch, aber nicht im Nahen Osten, größtenteils russischsprachig, aber nicht Russland. Das birgt eine komplexe Beziehung zu Nationen - und damit spielt die Serie ‘Nations’.
Die Künstler verstehen die Nation nicht nur als politische und historische Kategorie sondern als imaginäre, poetische Geographie.
