Page 22 date/time/location: from 04.07.2003 -- 14:00-18:00 (daily) Island entry (west side) executive authority: Hygiene Heute(D) title: DOLLY.GRIP GRAZ responsibility: S. Kaegi (CH) "quot;I did not need a long foreplay, but I always came when I first pressed the button", reads an announcement of the motoring club Graz. Therin, a Suzuki Bandit 1200 is being sold and the "I"- form has been chosen which "her rider" and owner ascribed to "her" for ten years. In the pornographic language of a declaration of love to a machine filling a whole page, a personification and act of compensation taper off making the Graz male to the Mongol or Apache on a motor-stallion, determined as a sexy companero .What does it mean to be a rocker in Graz, the city with the lowest rate of bicycle thefts? How do you mechanically accelerate thoughts? How can you legally circumvent a safety cordon? Dolly Graz is a camera ride without a camera; a short film being reeled off by the turning of the wheels of the machine. Every half an hour, the users, one by one, are taken to the Acconci island,		Page 23 are given a helmet and a kidney protector and are driven onto the course. The course is Graz. Be it in the sidecar or on the well-padded backseat of a heavy road machine - the spectator is a pillion-rider, a camera-assistent or simply a voyeur. Graz passes by as in a film. Behind the visor of the helmet, the city becoes a film strip. On Hygiene Heute (hygiene today): Stefan Kaegi grew up in Solothurn, Switzerland, studied fine arts in Zurich, applied dramatics in Giessen and lives in Frankfurt/M. In the year 1998, he founded, together with Bernd Ernst, the label "Hygiene Heute" in order to bring breakdowns and theatrical "ready-mades" into the theatre. His radio plays "Kugler Der Fall" (Kugler the case) and "Warum Jodie Foster kein Wasser will" (Why Jodie Foster doesn't want water) and "Play Dagobert" were broadcast by various radio stations in Germany and Switzerland. Only recently, he received, with the collective Haug/Wetzel/Kaegi, the Impulse theatre prize for "Shooting Bourbaki".
