DIE LAUF – The Only Race That Matters.

is the cockroach race performance that took place in Offenbach am Main on 06.06.2025. The performance consisted of gathering a group of spectators on an abandoned highway, where I acted as the race announcer and the bookmaker took the bets. The audience didn’t know how the race would unfold, so when two cockroach silhouettes suddenly dashed across the abandoned bridge above the highway, it came as a surprise. On top of the bridge drove two vans with cockroach cutouts attached to their roofs, each driven by a driver guided by the sound of a horn. Each of the four races featured two cockroaches, whose names I had invented. Videos by Joschua Y.Arnaut and Leonid Tskhe, video editing by Anna Fedotova. Drivers Roman Voigt and Judith Pollmann.
