It all started with Bernadette Köbele’s great-grandfather, who was the manager of a tobacco plantation in North Sumatra in the early 20th century. Our great-grandfather. By heritage and upbringing, we all carry within us micro-particles of colonialism. These even penetrate the depths of the earth. By filtering these particles that permeate our private spheres and our most everyday actions, Colonial Washing tends to liberate and sublimate them. Then the masquerade emerges, this inner, self-confident posture, the fruit of imperialist, Eurocentric, missionary and bewitching thinking. The smell of whitewashing hangs in the air around the forgotten silence of the colonised with a lemon scent. By incorporating the masquerade and willingly exposing this silence, the performers of Colonial Washing suddenly find themselves in socio-political and ecological fields. Everything is so beautiful in our latitudes.
