Dictio Pii (2001) - Markus Schinwald

Dicitio Pii (2001) by the Austrian artist Markus Schinwald. This is the only footage I could find on the Internet. Unfortunately without the narration part.

We are the perfume of corridors
Unfamiliarised with isolated activity
Traitors of privacy.

We are Utopian craftsmen
Scope heeled diplomats, pretty beggars
Not the product of poverty
We don't take from anyone.

We are pillared by mild sadness and polymorphic history
Eternally skeptical,

But We Believe.

We are immortal volunteers
Living in the sensation of being everything
And the certitude of being nothing.
We are just an outline.

We disband prompted paths of movement
Extend our bodies,
Become abysmal dancers.
We are illiterate of perfection, following the curves of belief.
Interested only in the gestures of bending.
Scaffold-ed postures,
obscene geometry.
Frozen irony.

We are derranged.

He's going to have an exhibition in Hungary, at the Budapest Kunsthalle from the end of September until November 2009. Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it. If anyone has the full version, please upload.

As I said in the comments, this is the only version I could find. I'll try to fix the sound, it must be a youtube conversion issue.

Yeah, I also spent like two hours in TM when I first saw it, and been searching for an online version ever since.
