A gas station has always been a place to fulfill your needs. Besides its dark symbolic meaning, it was for all of us sometimes a site of an (un)voluntary power stop.In ruins of refueling Julia Hainz invited the audience to a para-somatic exercise that activated Daniel Theiler ́s architectural installation of a gas station as a radical resonance space.

To the sound of Anna Hjalmarsson ́s DJ set, Julia Hainz transformed the place into changing scenarios: Between loneliness and gathering, acceleration and corrosion, endurance and decay, the place demands our energy.
