we're here to close circles

Leaves are packed in trash bags, hedges are cut into cubes, trees are stabilized with wood, flowers are cordoned off with fences, forests are planted in grids.
What kind of approach to our environment have we become accustomed to? What fits into our idea of meaningful work?
In performative interventions I intervene in public spaces and oscillate between unwanted intervention and care, between mystification and absurdity. The performances refer to a way of dealing with the environment, which is, was and will always be slightly wrong. Leaving uncommented traces, the video recording is stopped and the process of interactions can continue without being captured.

Theoretische Thesis

Duration: 5'11''
Online adaptation of the exhibition situation of "we're here to close circles", consisting of four screens and two audio boxes. The material of the video performances can be shown and used differently in different contexts. Here a version close to the situation in the exhibition will be shown.

Exhibition situation: A total of 18 video performances can be seen on four screens, which together last 20:40 minutes. Between four and six minutes are looped on each screen, resulting in conditionally random image combinations.
