In my artistic practice, I observe urban and postindustrial environments focusing on chorographical quality of daily routines. I am interested in the togetherness of body and space, considering that every movement hides a moment of irritation.
Often, I do research trips – It is important to me that my work has a space-opening component, and does not just take place in the designated theater space. All the developed projects are done in collaboration with other artists, designers, activists, dancers and audience – And that collaboration is based on mutual appreciation and empowerment. As an artist I feel the urge of being a platform.
Year of participation
2021
Observatory Working Group is a temporary research group between performance, social practice and art. It consists of dancers Marius Ledwig and Kati Masami Menze, performance artist Daria Nazarenko and visual artist Nils Sehnert.
For CC Ringenberg #2, the four participants invented a participatory research project called LANDING POINTS. In this, they will focus on Bruno Latour's term: becoming terrestrial. To become terrestrial means to create a common ground – a ground that is not seen as a capital investment for resources, but as living space. This task can only be accomplished collectively with a multiplicity of voices and acteurs – human and non-human.
