In their konSequenzen-series deufert+plischke describe performances that that have specifically conceived for theory-practice encounters. In June 2008 in the framework of a thematic emphasis "Dies ist kein Spiel" [This is not a game] they developed an installation work in which spectators could invent games and players could search and at the same time fill the room with instructions for playing the game. For the "Giving Away Instructions" Island, the artist duo exhibit themselves, spread across two separate action venues. The audience receive detailed instructions of what is to be done. The instructions are addressed to each individual as a letter. There are three possible ways of dealing with the text of the instructions. One and/or the other are repeatedly available. Affect, intention and action (do not) come together differently. The spectators / observers / actors decide on the outcome of the evening.
