The lecture performance Walking In Two Directions (At The Same Time) (2022) thematises the (apparent) paradox of bringing together a multiplicity of roots in a singular bodily cartography. Repetitive physical gestures and analytical details meet spoken reflections – all supported by a crafted material structure that unfolds itself within the mental dialogue between the artist, the audience and present threads of the past. The solo performance intertwines wearable sculpture, written and recorded word, performance and painting.

Supported by Al-Quds Bards College and Travel Fund by Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen
