blush and fall
Performance @CARGOCASA with Anke Kalk in Porto //Portugal
Performance about falling around, falling into, falling prey to, falling down and missing the ground. about atterrissage, passement, franichssement, laché and equilibre.
“the terror of falling is not the earth rushing up, smiling and effusive, to embrace you, to embrace you. Nor it is the fear of impact.
It is this sense of betrayal, as you arch earthwards like a shooting star, looking down to see that there’s no one there waiting to catch you.”

utopia wall
Artistic Residence @CARGOCASA
Artistic Residency and Wall-Painting Project with Anke Kalk in Porto //Portugal
- – -utopia, a non-place. non existent, always absent, yet present. a wall, the borderland between inside and outside, the skin of the house.- – -
Drawings by the artists Anke Kalk and Marie-Jolin Köster, will be projected onto one exterior wall of Contagiarte. The emerging picture of light will be copied onto the wall leaving a permanent marker of a transient space-time-act. A dialogic movement of embedding will take place, as the projection of the artists utopic imagery will extend the walls’ unidimensional surface into a three-dimensional space: The landscape will be found on trespassers’ bodies, while at the same time their presence in the real space will penetrate the utopic scenery as people, objects, cut-outs and materials exposed to the light find themselves as shadows on the wall.
A seductive play with binary oppositions that urges to construct a third space between//
here and there, transient and permanent, inside and outside, presence and absence, virtual utopia and a concrete wall.
From 13 to 20 September 2010
On the 16th of September 10pm there will be a performative cut-out bringalong…
CONTAGIARTE Oporto, Portugal
Workshop @CargoCasa //Collaborative Storytelling
In this workshop participants are invited to explore the art of collaborative narration in the space of light and shadow established @utopia wall to collaboratively create stories based on (auto-)ethnographic inquiry. A dialog between different perspectives, multiple voices speaking in different tongues, accents, rythms and registers will establish a space of negotiation about concepts or experiences that are meaningful to us.
Non-linear narration and metaphoric language as well as the use of image, objects, sound and the body open up multiple perspectives on the art of narration, which we will be exploring together as a group.
workshop @contagiarte // 14., 15. and 16. September 2010 //3-5p.m.

present absentees
project on discursive and material production of absence in israel. ethnographic research and mixed media output.
landscape is never innocent or natural. it is always constructed. the perception of landscape itself follows certain discoursive channels, which in turn present the temporary result of power negotiations as the “natural order” of things.
My interest focuses on processes and strategies of inscribing and palimpsesting presences and absences of ethnically constructed collectives into space in Israel.
First output is a scientific thesis (in progress) followed by an exhibition (planned) //Dekonstruktion von An- und Abwesenheit in Israel //Ethnologie FU Berlin Magisterarbeit
