‘Professor M looked down at his paunch and sighed. At 56 his physical decline, long established, hadn't got any easier to endure. Work didn't help. And neither would this meeting. In fact, he was dreading it. If she had shown his letter to the Dean he was done, and he knew it was his own doing. What a fool. He knew he had been kidding himself. Times had changed, and he knew that too.

Bernhard Cella's performance uncovers the artistic potential of everyday situations associated with physical and mental mobility. The artist draws up scenes of European lockdown cowboys misappropriating props of lost urban life, celebrating memories of authentic knowledge sanctuaries, uninhibited revealing in open public spaces and inebriation with the flow of social interaction.
Cella manipulates and strings together various aesthetic aspects of fading cultural artifacts and, in collaboration with an art audience, produces a transformed experiential space-for a limited time only.

The catalog was developed in close collaboration with the artist. It examines Atkins' practice in the context of contemporary art, literature and digital representation, and explores how the artist uses the displacement of language and script as well as music, voice and sound. Through videos, texts and drawings, the artist develops a multi-layered and deeply figurative discourse. The impossibility of an adequate representation of the physical, especially the corporeal - from computer-generated visual vocabulary to the most hackneyed poetry - is
