Large parts of the two videos from the installation of TURN! can now be viewed online. The video installation is shown in a space where the two projections are seperated, so one cannot easily see both projections at the same time. The videos show the two extreme perspectives on the performance TURN! that took place in June 2011 in the Zentralstadion Leipzig in Germany.

TURN! explores what a contemporary synchronised collective could be. With state-socialist and communist traditions in the background and individualism as the current norm, this collective is not an unambiguous body. What are moments that connections, communities and collaborations come into being? And what are the moments that the collective can be used as a spectacular image for commercial or propagandistic purposes? The border between utopian ideas of collectivity and totalitarian spectacles is very thin. There are complex power relations at play even in the most emancipated and democratic groups of people. Exactly this tension is what the installation of TURN! tries to explore.
