TIR girls

Traveling of an image isn’t anything new today cause thousands of them are in a constant move, traveling everyday, from one place to another, using TV, Internet etc. So amazing that the images can travel instead of us. Virtual trip. Our photos with TIR drivers in their trucks, traveling all around the world. Mobility. That was a staring point.

performed: space of certain size

the 'space of certain size' departed at chausseestr. 1, yesterday late afternoon. bordered by barrier tape and defined by 4 human bodies, it did indeed find its way. via friedrichstraße and unter den linden it was deposited on the corner of wilhelmstraße. not everyone was amused; we were, however.
check out the fotos on flickr ('impressions' top right hand corner) and the video documentation at the exhibition!

pics from fortnight archive

with the help of 2 lodz-based (emilia k. and maciej a.) and 2 berlin-based (isa and wilm) participants, i started the "fortnight archive":
during 2 weeks, from july 26th to august 8th (i.e. one week before and one week after the workshop's kick-off), every morning, they received a text message from me, with a topic for the day.
these were, for example, "day 2: my stuff - your things", "day 7: today's menue", "day 9: spy hole", ...
based on these topics, i asked them to make a photo with a disposable camera, a video recording of 10sec, a sound recording, some notes, and leave them to me afterwards, so that i could use the material.
this is not a settled project but some kind of controlled material collection with uncertain outcome.
a film will hopefully be ready on the finissage. --- johanna naatz

sundays balloon f(l)ight

two pics from sunday, where the rain stopped just in time.

thanx to all who came to help and take part. you were great and essential in the fight with the knot which wasn't planned.

first card arrived yesterday from kastanienallee.

action: 7pm Sunday 10th of august

loadz of berloons (300) will be sent to the sky from the roof of the "altes postfuhramt" in berlin mitte at 7 pm this sunday.

Each balloon carries a message to the person who finds it. That person is asked to send a drawing of the place where he found the balloon to me. The drawings will be exhibited.

this work is about sending messages to random people and interacting with them.

a balloon is a beautiful image of movement, play and happyness.

please come and watch the take off. The best spot to see it will probably be on the

oranienburger straße in oposite of the c/o gallery.
