Tanel Rander’s performative presentation "A German is Coming"

On 12 October at 4 pm, Tanel Rander’s performative presentation "A German is Coming" will take place at the Lasnamäe Pavilion of the Tallinn Art Hall. The presentation stems from the artist’s curiosity about why hearing the German language makes him feel an urge to stand up and salute.

Rander is participating in the exhibition Difficult Pasts. Connected Worlds with his installation Damn Rake, most of which was created last year in Berlin. There, he explored his complex relationship with the German language and sought to understand whether this stems from Estonia’s colonial history or his own unresolved issues.

The performance will be in Estonian, English and German.
