The multimedia Performance EXTREMZEIT (EXTREMETIME) is a very individual examination of the phenomenon « time » with regard on past time and their effect on the present. EXTREMZEIT is a kind of proclamation, realizing to make visible fears and tension, entanglement of private and political dismay.

During the Performance Ursula Kraft reacts to the high tide of visual and acoustic stimuli with body movements deforming the 3 x 3 meter projection screen made of elastic material. Therefore she can react to the picture, as a representative of a reality, have an effect on it. The photograph is projected by different projector points of view as collage overlaying several light-images. The besides appearing general view consists from in colour, optically and to technically alienated picture segments which melt to a new composition of a picture. The pictures consist exclusively of existent admissions from family albums, TV news, old super-8 films and political videos.

The electronic music of Hartmut Seidler corresponds with the photos which stand by the programmation with the sound in direct dramaturgical connection. The saxophone live played by Wolfgang Mayer takes over the emotional reaction.
