Performing „The elderly“ in Berlin : on Tuesday the 5th of July at the gallery R. – Raum für drastische Maßnahmen during the exhibit of Anaïs Edely. „THE ELDERLY“ is a performance about old ladies, the act of taking care and the fear of being forgotten. Served with an old love song with half of the lyrics missing and some cherry liquor. See „Les passantes“ on this website.
It’s always a very peculiar experience to re-play a performance many years after. Since i’m working about grandmas and the aging topic again lately, i took the opportunity to re-perform this 20 min piece of singing art-performance in Berlin.

26 Netzdoku-Checkpoint in Berlin: War photographer and MIT member Karim Ben Khelifa comes to our Berlin Netzdoku Meetup to present the VR project : „The Enemy“. In his virtual reality experience the viewer is immersed in a gallery, moving between an Israeli and a Palestinian soldier.
Since i had the chance to experience his prototype last year i get very impressed by the all project, as it also raised a lot of questions and thoughts about the impact of the user experience. Especially as a woman : standing between two soldiers starring at me in a closed room was not an insignificant experience. So the meeting offers a possibility to share different user’s personal experiences and to get some answers directly by the author.
Here an interesting read about the user’s experience in VR project.
November 2015 – January 2016
Filming of „The grandmas’s project“ in Paris : Following acrobat Alexandre Fray visiting grandmas at home for a very atypical and touching project in Paris’s suburb La Courneuve. Since this work of his company „Un loup pour l’homme“ seems to cross quite perfectly both of my filming and performing topics about old women at home and french suburbs, I felt just at the right place to film here. Discovering more about a new theater genre („Nouveau Cirque“) and being amazed every time about how acrobats can express their own humanity were also part of the experience. More about the film and about the circus company.

Six international teams made up of storytellers, technologists, animators, graphic and web designers worked on interactive and immersive stories.
