Das Projekt unternimmt in einem vergleichenden Verfahren eine kunstgeschichtliche Einordnung, methodische Systematisierung und Reflexion praktischer und theoretischer Aspekte des Formats "Reenactment".
Adopting a comparative approach, the project considers aspects of the format known as 're-enactment' based on a process of contextualisation (in terms of the history of art), systematisation (in terms of the methods used), and reflection.
The project can be broken down into various parts informed by historical/critical considerations, the theory of representation, and the theory of action. In each case, the theoretical groundwork relates to a topic-based research conference for each phase – which relates in turn to the projects devised in parallel by the International Institute of Political Murder.
