Shifting Sitting is a multi-channel video installation to be installed at a Western parliament. The piece consists of two different scenes that are taking place at different moments in a courthouse.

SCENE 2:
The second scene takes place in the same courtroom, but after the sitting is over.

Some of the audience and some of the press remain there hanging around in the mostly emptied space. Maintenance technicians and cleaning personnel are doing their jobs. Most of the workers are young except for one older gipsylady. A few of them have a north-African background. They find the Berlusconi masks that were left behind on the chairs by the protesters in the audience and jokingly start wearing them. Others react by starting to behave like interrogators and judges and together they playfully imitate the day's events. A few of the still present members of the press and public are laughing and slowly, one by one, join the collective séance, each picking up and acting out a role.

But at this point,the tone of the spontaneous ritual gets more harsh and heated up - it feels that something shocking and unexpected could suddenly happen within the crowd, especially when the people that took the Berlusconi masks demonstratively start sitting down on the floor.

But considering how spontaneously the whole scene came together, it now miraculously disintegrates again when, one by one, in good spirits, the individual workers return to their original duties.
