Something is Missing was an action in two parts, one outside and one inside the building where the event took place. The two spatialities were connected through a large window on the second floor. The action included a ladder, two fans, a long rope, a bike that was parked in front of the venue, and a thick white marker. During the action Arnell interacted with the space around the building and with the people who were present. She used the ladder to write text excerpts* on the second floor’s large window. During the second part, she read the text TO THIS END, IT IS NOT ENOUGH/ (2009) into a microphone while standing in front of the window. The audience had to hold two large pieces of light blue plastic tarpaulin in front of themselves.
* BODIES STANDS OUT WHEN THEY ARE OUT OF PLACE / AND / THE MOMENTS WHEN THE BODY APPEARS 'OUT OF PLACE' ARE MOMENTS OF POLITICAL AND PERSONAL TROUBLE / ON THE STREET OR IN THE BUS / THE ACT BECOMES DANGEROUS /
The text was self-published in 2009 within the project TO THIS END, IT IS NOT ENOUGH/ at SEPTEMBER in Berlin.
