 Sascha Paar: Glorious Soil – Performance The performance Glorious Soil wi
 ll be presented three times at HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark\, each time on t
 he hour. A person runs on a treadmill. Beside them lies a pile of soil. The
  movement begins and repeats without carrying the body forward. The person 
 remains in motion while staying in the same place. Interruptions and shifts
  occur between the running movements before the person returns to the rhyth
 m of the treadmill. The treadmill represents a form of labour in which move
 ment does not necessarily mean progress. The body adopts a rhythm\, maintai
 ns it and yet must keep going. French choreographer and theorist André Lep
 ecki has described how movement can also follow a social imperative: to rem
 ain active\, to keep moving\, never to stand still. From the perspective of
  embodied labour\, we can also ask how work becomes inscribed in the body 
 – in its movements\, rhythms and capacity to endure physical strain. Glor
 ious Soil brings these two perspectives together in a concrete physical sit
 uation. Sascha Paar connects this situation with the industrial heritage of
  his hometown. Growing up in Bruck an der Mur as the son of a factory worke
 r\, he is familiar with a working environment whose rhythms have shaped lif
 e beyond the factory for generations. The iron and steel industries\, as we
 ll as the paper and pulp industries\, have shaped not only Styria's landsca
 pes and workplaces but also people's understanding of time\, reliability an
 d performance. Shift work structured everyday life into morning\, evening a
 nd night shifts\; working hours and leisure time\, weekdays and weekends fo
 llowed a predetermined rhythm. In Glorious Soil\, this experience of labour
  and deeply ingrained working rhythms is connected to questions of place an
 d origin. This industrial order is changing. With it\, jobs\, regions and w
 ays of life are changing too. Yet the expectation to keep moving\, remain a
 ctive and stay productive has not disappeared. It has simply taken on diffe
 rent forms. Glorious Soil captures this contradiction in a simple situation
 : a body moves\, pauses\, starts again and remains in the same place. Date:
