HEINZ BAUT

Heinz has 47 wooden poles, each 3m long and 45mm thick, and a large bundle of ropes in front of him. There is already a tripod made of three more poles tied together in place so now the performance begins. Heinz climbs onto the tripod, picks up one of the poles lying on the ground and a piece of rope and begins to build. He builds and builds and fetches more and more poles and ties them together with ropes. He connects. and fetches poles builds more and more. His rather delicate construction takes him to lofty heights until eventually it is finished. Heinz eats an apple and then dismantles his work until only a pile of poles and the bundle of ropes lie in front of him again. The process takes three to four hours and according to the company's press release, it is a "heavenly exploratory search for knowledge."
Swiss artist Georg Traber has been touring Europe with "HEINZ BAUT" for more than two decades. His performance is an invitation to linger and eat apples
