EN:   Walking In Two Directions (At The Same Time) explores the apparent paradox of bringing together a multiplicity of roots within a single bodily cartography. Repetitive physical gestures and analytical details meet spoken reflections, supported by a crafted material structure that unfolds through the mental dialogue between the artist, the audience, and present traces of the past. The solo performance intertwines wearable sculpture, written and recorded text, performance, and painting.

Duration: 30 min.

Supported by Al-Quds Bards College and Travel Fund by Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (IfA) (2022).







DE:   Walking In Two Directions (At The Same Time)  thematisiert das scheinbare Paradox, eine Vielzahl von Wurzeln in einer singulären körperlichen Kartografie zusammenzuführen. Die Wiederholung von körperlichen Gesten und analytischen Aktionen treffen auf gesprochene Reflexionen – getragen von einer handwerklich-gestalteten materiellen Struktur, die sich im  Dialog zwischen der Künstlerin, dem Publikum und gegenwärtigen Spuren der Vergangenheit entfaltet. Die Solo-Performance verknüpft tragbare Skulptur, geschriebenes und aufgezeichnetes Wort, Performance und Malerei.

Dauer: 30 Minuten
