Was du liebst

versuche nicht

zu fangen

zu halten

An die du liebst -

stelle nicht Unlösbares

Berührt euch sacht

Sperrt euch nicht ein

- Seid so frei zueinander

Viel Zeit vergeht -

der Vogel fliegt nur in deiner geöffneten Hand

(28. Februar 2016)

You love

- don´t try

to catch and to hold

The ones you love -

do not ask the impossible

Don´t close yourself in

the tough must be gentle -

Are so mutually free

Time goes by -

the bird only fly in your open hand 

[toustark]

Wo wir Stärke brauchten -

Unsicherheit

Selbstzweifel

Wut

Trauer

- Unsere Kinderarme hielten euch 

Vor euren Ängsten fliehen wir

Haben euer Gesicht

(23. November 2015)

Where we needed strength - uncertainty self-doubt rage mourning - Our Children arms kept you Before fears we flee They have your face

[toustark]

Mein totes Haar liegt in meinem Schoß

Das Haar ist kühl

Mein Schoß ist warm

Reliquie -

Kehre zurück in dein Grab.

(November 2010)

Danke an Daniela, die an mein Kunst glaubt und mich ermutigt und erweitert. Und Dank an Roland, der mich mit seinen Gedichten an die meinen erinnert hat.

exihibition  in Berlin, Germany

 red Dress, used pointe shoes in pink, the music box of my childhood, Earth for covering 20 m² floor,10 -15 glasses with red cover and the title of the performance in white Color

The earth is piled into a heap in the middle of the room. I squat or sit next to the pile of dirt with the music box on her lap. Next to me / my feet are the pointe shoes. The glasses stand along the wall at the bottom.

 I prefer the Music box on, open it and put it off. Then I go to my knees bend down towards the ground and start it to me to dig into the cut. I get up, holding with both hands the Earth ventral fixed, then I’ll go around the room, stand still, then I let trickle out the earth. Then I go to my knees and spread out the earth above the ground. This process is repeated until the ground like a carpet with earth is covered. Then I put on the pointe shoes and trying to balance on your toes until I no longer stand it. The process is repeated. Meanwhile other Performances and compositions starts.

Groundworks. Earth works.

Performance within 12. Art Festival  "Vom Zauber der Bäume" in Quedlingburg, 20.06.2015

"The work of art is not what has been appended to the tree trunk. As art remains visible the tree and everything that grows. Another lying there between you and me invisible in the grass. " (Statement, was conducted as a group of an art tour was lead through the park.)

Black Dress, strips of White Cotton, Postcards (White Paper), black pens, Fixing Pins

I lie down in the grass and stay lying unmovable as possible. The thoughts and feelings that come to my mind, I write down on a card and put it on the tree trunk. At the beginning of the festival I stand in the black dress on the edge of the meadow. My feet are barefoot. With as few words as possible, I invite the people of facing the other, to leave her shoes on the meadow to lie with me on the lawn with an ear to the ground. They can stay as long as they want. At the end, they can leave a message on the white card and attach it to the tree, what they heard, saw and felt and / or how they interpret the performance.

Duration: 3,5 hours

   Be – Eat.  Love – Dream.

Performance together with Ludmila Hansen (Mila H.)

within 11. Kunstfestival "Zauber der Bäume" 2014, Quedlinburg, Germany

2 red cotton towels 2 white dresses 1 red dress 10 red roses with thorns white transparents

Part I We stand barefoot with the greatest possible distance from one another offset in the meadow. Our eyes are connected to the red cloth; we each wear a white dress. I carries over the white dress the Red. We are until we start running feel the feeling. Once we collide, we finish our run with a hug. Then we strip the red cloth of our eyes, but leave it hanging around our necks.

Part II I  takes off the red dress and stiffens it on Mila. She starts to collect the roses. She walks over to me. Then gives me a single rose, that I eat with thorns and leaves.

 Part III I takes the cloth from the neck and holds it spread before the body. I walks up to Mila and her looks before you lift the cloth between their two faces and kisses her. Then we both go to the audience. Mila distributes the remaining roses. I follows her and pulls before each / m spectator the cloth to his face to try those / kissing that. You will be paid to people as close as possible. Then we'll take the two of us by the hand and walk away.

 Unease Bound

Performative intervention in public space

within the project “In the Notion of Limits”, coproduktion 2013 with [red bind], ARENA 23.Internationale Woche des jungen Theaters, Erlangen, Germany

Red tape, a real red evening Dress,a pair of black high heeled shoes, a hair pin

  Discribtion:

I make my square on the ground; collect a big part of the precinct. Then I step to the right corner of the square, take out my shoes, open my hair, take the hem of my dress into my hands, starts running and jump over the big line. Then do it at once and at once, moving nearer and nearer to the border. I go along the tape till I tough the line the first time with my feet.  I go on the line. After that moment I never lose the contact with the line. Then I am carefully went on my knees to put my body with the underside at the red tape, my face against the floor. I take my hair with one hand and put it at the tape; I hold it with one hand, so I can hardly move my brain. I lift my brain and put it again at the tape. I do this five times. At the end, I am lying so long till  I have the feeling to stand up.

During the performance I will never speak to the audience.
