Some years ago, I remember reading something about a performance of Rudolf Eb.er which involved a trio of girls vomiting on plastic cans, and Rudolf manipulating sound. It seems that a video of this performance was show at the No Fun Fest of 2005.

In a review of this show I discovered this:

QuoteRunzelstirn & Gurgelstock (Rudolf Eb.er) was unfortunately unable to attend due to visa issues; his set was a video performance instead. Ed Howard has detailed the contents of the video nicely on IHM, so I'll just quote him:

"and oddly enough, possibly the most talked-about set of the whole fest was not really a set at all, but runzelstirn & gurgelstock's videotaped performance from japan, provided because rudolph eb.er had passport issues and couldn't actually make the fest. the video showed eb.er on stage with 3 young japanese women. the first 15 minutes or so consisted of an elaborately staged and slowly paced ritual in which eb.er gave each woman 3 different-colored drinks, washing the glasses out carefully between each round. what followed was another 20 minutes of the women vomiting copiously into tubs provided by the musician. the sound in the first half was some sampled screeching and chopped-up laughs, providing a deeply unsettling air of foreboding to the performance, and for the second half of the performance there was only the amplified sound of retching and of vomit hitting the plastic pans."


I also found (i talking some years ago) a link to an audio recording of this performance, but it was broken...

The question is, do you know anything about all these stuff?

Rudolf was kind enough to show me this and several other videos when he was here in 2007.  What do you want to know about it?

Well, I am curious to listen to this stuff, it seems very weird, but it fascinates me somehow...

It was the interaction between sound, visual and (I suspect) odour which made the performance.  In fact the combination of senses I think is particularly important to Rudolf's live work.

"Have you ever made a film?

NOT YET.

If no, what sort of film would you make?
