About event
After Nostalgia
Outdoor Performance by Harun Morrison in the frame of Tanznacht Berlin 2025: Vocal Affairs
[celebrate&context]
Saturday 13.09.2025 / 20:00 / Savvy Contemporary
Free entry
In the film “Nostalgia“ (1983) directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, a late scene features a writer, who is tasked with crossing an empty, ancient thermal pool with a lighted candle as an act of faith. The candle is blown out on multiple attempts, he keeps trying.
“After Nostalgia” invites a self-organizing group of people rather than a single person to carry a lit candle across a nearby square, collectively using their bodies to shield the flame from the wind. This communal effort to protect something fragile offers a metaphorical action through which to consider our relationship to ecological networks.
➡️ Harun Morrison (he/him) is a London-based artist and writer and former associate artist with Greenpeace UK. His novel, „The Escape Artist“, will be published by Book Works. His recent group exhibitions include „Chronic Hunger“ in Timișoara, „BALATORIUM“ in Veszprém, and „Storm Warning“ in Cornwall and Southend. He has also co-designed community gardens in Merseyside, Sheffield and Essex.
Concept: Harun Morrison
Supported by Tanznacht Berlin and SAVVY Contemporary. Funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion of the State of Berlin.
