BRYANA FRITZ & HENRY ANDERSEN

Slow Reading Club

Slow Reading Club is a semi-fictional reading group initiated by Bryana Fritz and Henry Andersen in 2016. The group deals in constructed situations for collective reading. The club looks at, probes, and interrupts “readership” as a way to stimulate the contact zones between reader and text, text and text, reader and reader.

For their invitation to Rakete Festival, Fritz and Andersen propose a late-night collective reading session, soaked in poetry, prose, yellow light, and intoxicants, accompanied by a new reader of bootlegged texts. If reading is an action that is “performed”, might it also be choreographed? And might such choreographies provide an escape from dominant patterns of reading-as-communication?
