Through a personal world that separates itself from technology and approaches us "towards us".
The topics are classified under the common denominator of "sacred places", of our inner self belonging to us.
During the conference the participants together will discuss some of the themes through collaborative work on the form of moving sculptures, installations and performances.
Here you see the result of residency exhibit in the library in the city of
Gospić
.
After the arriving days of residency i started to collect plastic waste from the surrounding areas.
There were 3 different collecting areas. From forest and woods around the camp, from coastline and from national park. Each area specific waste were handeld separately in a later inspection and archiving process.
The exhibition in the library was about the concept and documentiation of the whole process plus a description what will follow next with the waste and in main part a conecpt about property and the (un)equality of it in context of the meaning about free und non-free work.

Here you see a improvised place to rest and sleep.
Questioning myself about nessesary things to survive in nature let me build up this construction.
My package for the journey to the residency was only – next to artistic untensils and clothes – a sleeping bag and some robes. On the drive from
Leipzig
to
Croatia
via
Viena
we collected some old palets. In the camp i found some unused tarpaulin. This 4 basic components were used to construct a shelter that protected me of the local cold nights, viper snakes, scorpions and bears.
In the first days of residence i discovered the surrounding area and colected some stones, wooden sticks and bones. With parts of this i build up some kind of altar. In that way i expanded my shelter with some decorative elements.

real theater on 4 stages – in public space, news media, social media and the field of politics

description

Between April 1st and May 31th, a local empty shop was rented. The shop was located right next to a
AfD
constituency office.
In time of the project, the local mayoral elections were held.
The main topic was the public opinion and discourses on the migration movement. The quesstions about »Where was I born and where is it allowed to me to live?«
In this context, a unclear theatrical game of weird actions took place.

essay about
Wassilly Kandinskys – Das Bunte Leben
January 17, 2018
Curated by
Christina Natlacen
→ essay.pdf
Das Bunte Leben
is one of the most important early works of
Kandinsky
.
It is about human beeing, spirituality and hidden forces.
Kandinsky
constructs a theoretically pyramid for the ongoing development of the human species. On top are the most important (group of) individuans. On bottom the less important.
The big churches with their religions are very close to the bottom.
But also science isn't at top it is just in the middle levels.
On top are the theospohically minds of
Helena P. Blawatzky
– she tryed to collect fracments of a really old universal spirutally whisdom of the asian world especially fracments of the more than 2500 years old book scrols
I Ging
and older scrolls of the time before
