SO VERY CLOSE, 2022
Full-HD-Video, Stereo
6:50 min
Four performers and stage technology on a wide meadow: in slow motion, a tentative encounter of friction, tenderness, and sound develops between skin and blades of grass. The meadow becomes a stage of uncertainty, between closeness, attraction, and uncannyness. Based on material from a live performance at the Ringlokschuppen Ruhr (2021).
