The softest fast (2021)

Performance 12 min, sunflowers, plastic foil, fake fur, essay


The softest fast is a performance that emerged in 2021 amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Adapted to the challenging circumstances for live performances, the 15-minute performance took shape around music pieces and text fragments created during the pandemic. Collaborating with Charlotte Berg as a performer , a ground-based work of flowers, text, plastic film, and faux fur was activated in a performative manner. The performance was conceived as a ritual of connection in the midst of the isolation imposed by the pandemic.


“Einen Weg zu finden aus der nebeligen Stumpfheit
mich nicht auflösen zu können in der Alltäglichkeit

....

In Anonymität die harten Grenzen
ansonsten Grenzenlosigkeit.
Liebe ist ein hartes Lernen
so auch die Verbundenheit. ”


with Charlotte Berg and Carla Vollmers
