Parapraxis

The publication PARAPRAXIS1 – In the Realm of Error is dedicated to the error as deviation, mistake, contradiction or disruption and its potentials. The imagery of the performative installation PARAPRAXIS by Stephanie Winter and SALON HYBRID is confronted with 11 textual positions from art theory and cultural studies. The texts focus on the occurrence and control of errors as well as their productive and destructive effects within different kinds of systems such as art, the Internet, a prison or the mind. The title PARAPRAXIS not only refers to the mistake or Freudian slip but also to an artistic practice, which pursues topics between art and science set in a kind of parallel world. Since 2013 Stephanie Winter and SALON HYBRID appropriate vacant buildings with the series PARAPRAXIS, meandering between performative installation, walk-in film set and experimental laboratory.
