Perpetuum Mobile. Non-places in Blixa Bargeld’s journals

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes life writing strategies of the German composer, musician and performer Blixa Bargeld, who has been documenting his life on tour since the 1990s. The experience of moving between successive identical, impersonal, as Marc Augé puts it, non-places, such as hotels and airports, turns out to be the opposite of traveling. As a result, Bargeld’s travelogue takes unusual forms: from a series of photographs showing hotel bathrooms (serialbathroomdummyrun), through experimental prose (Europa kreuzweise. Eine Litanei), to concrete music (the album Perpetuum Mobile).
