Two minutes of silence followed the june 1999 performance of NAKRA, a piece with a strong political overtone: the situation of Kosovo. “You can’t just applaud to this. But it was still great, though.” a stunned member of the audience finally called across the room.

The 14 minute RESONATOR track is built around samples describing the unfolding of events in Kosovo during the first half of 1999.

NAKRA did not try to explain, or take a bias toward any particular side in this war. Nakra merely tells the story of the facts as they were perceived through (western) media.

NAKRA was illustrated by a video/computer animation “Ein Schlag Worte” by Frankfurt/Berlin based multimedia artists and typographers Face2Face (F2F).

The show took place at 01.00 am at “Spatium”, the 16th Forum for Typography in Leipzig at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst.
