Fiktionsbescheinigung is a para-detective game in which participants, guided by investigators Asya Ashman and Kostya Koryagin, themselves decide what was an event and what was not, and reconstruct a history that have never existed, but left its traces behind. These traces are in the form of performative tasks and documents of invisible processes, which are to be tried, re-enacted, and spoken through. You are invited to an investigative experiment, where the story is built by means of collective decisions and perhaps a dice.

How to grasp and name an event? Which events ultimately form history, and which are buried in forgetfulness? What is our role in this process?

Fiktion is a German legal term, a legal prescription according to which a non-occurred event or absence of something should be considered as having occurred or being available.
