Unfriendly Takeover presents three lecture performances by students that were developed in the scope of seminar with Rabih Mroué. All three projects have not only in common the analysis of the format of the lecture performance, but also they all raise questions about the status of documents as well as about techniques of self-presentation which lecture performances put into use.
Lina Lindheimer: "Spurensuche / Ein Bericht"
"Spurensuche" (tracing down) creates truth and reports on an investigation carried out in public, of which oneself is an accepted part as long as one's own identity does have clear coordinates to offer. "Spurensuche" scrutinizes the reliability of various documents and feigns the possibility of absolute control by pretending full transparency of the given information.

Malte Scholz: "Don't forget to *** *** ***"
"During a 17 hours shift as a clerk inside a small glass cubicle at the schauspielfrankfurt I developed a performance lecture, that ended up as a bundle of about 22 pages with material ranging from small notes, scribbles and everyday banalities to metadiscussions about lecture performances and the problems of self presentation. All these ideas have been discussed and noted down by me, referring to a piece that is not, but will 'come into being'. Ways and possibilities are introduced in which this lecture could develop and also the problems that come with them. These options take place in words. The rest is up to your imagination."
Tobias Brenk/Mike May: "Photographed by Mike May"
"As a boy Mike went blind after playing with chemicals on an industrial area. Since 2002 he has been cured of his blindness: A microchip implant replaces the damaged retina and is constantly sending light signals to his portable computer. The computer converts the data of Mike's eye and sends electric signals to his nervous system. On the computer, these signals and pictures are storable."
