I han es Zündhölzli azündt

"I han es Zündhölzli azündt" is a performance series. Mostly happening in performance spaces, the artist travels with his loudspeaker (named "Firestarter") to different locations. The text that is performed are poems from the last six years in swiss german and english. Each poem is handwritten on very thin paper (Seidenpapier) and packed in to a match box with 1 match in it.

Features of other artist working with texts has become part of the series. Together the locations are chosen that fit the writings of both, the guest and Wassili, best.
