Founded in 2002, the collective Rimini Protokoll has developed its very own form of experimental theatre, documentary performance, film, installation and action art. Touring extensively around the world, the group continuously challenges and broadens models of interaction, participation, and representation. The exhibition at PRAXES aims to stage dialogues between placeholders, “self-exponents,” and surprising experts of the everyday.

Divided into various chapters, this Cycle represents the first extensive investigation into the practice of Rimini Protokoll in an art institution: a carefully orchestrated clash between live art, exhibitions, and the making of a book drawing on the many-faceted material of the collective. Rimini Protokoll has presented its work—produced collectively as well as individually by its members Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, and Daniel Wetzel—at countless festivals and theaters worldwide, often in site-specific adaptations. Current productions include “World Climate Change Conference,” “Situation Rooms,” and “100% City.” Its new production, “Homevisit: Europe,” premieres in Berlin in May 2015.
