was wahr bleibt
for interactive installations (in collaboration with Joan Tan and Hannah Otto)
This work is a collaborative work initiated by Joan Tan and supported by Hannah Otto. The multimedia work consists of a version for live performance (shown above) and an interactive installation (shown below). First presented as part of the Sommerblut Kultur Festival, FINAL CELEBRATION on 7 May 2025 at the Ehemaliges Autohaus Dresen, Cologne, Germany and at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln on 4th July 2025. Currently being reworked at Kolleg der Künste Montepulciano, Italy and will be reperformed.
was wahr bleibt explores the fragility of memory and the traces we leave behind. As visitors pass through the space, their silhouettes are captured and layered onto a looping video projection. With each repetition, residual images of previous viewers accumulate, merging with those of the present. Over time, this continuous layering distorts the visual memory, raising a central question: Can what remains still be considered true?
