Concurrent to Erik Niedling’s and Ingo Niermann’s participation at the Yokohama Triennale, curated by Liu Ding and Carol Yinghua Lu, EXILE is pleased to present the exhibited film Walder and the text The Walder Diet, newly commissioned by the Yokohama Triennale.

Walder, 2023
“A man wanders through the forest, felling trees, preparing to fight someone or something, while reading, singing, and biting into a piece of meat. The man speaks fervently about how he must protect what he has and not allow others to control him. Referenced here are the ideas of Marx Stirner, a 19th century German philosopher known for his writing such as The Ego and Its Own. The man also mentions how he is superior to Adolf Hitler. At first glance, the man appears like a kind who rules over everything in the forest. At the same time, however, he is a fragile being who, having lost his place in the outside world, justifies himself only be escaping into the forest.”

The Walder Diet, 2024
“A far cry from our familiar social activities and relationships, these strange recipes show us that our perception as to whether a food is healthy, or whether something is even food to begin with, does not come naturally. The recipes of the Walder are suggestive of an absolute individualism (and even anarchism), and indicate a mental state of being prepared for battle at any time and place, and able to abandon one position and build a new one at any time and place. Relationships of hostility and win or lose therein are replaced by a free status in which life energy expands by itself.” (Wang Qin)
