Video

The videos are conceived as large durational projections. As pictures in which there then is some movement present. The perceiver decides how long she stays with them. In my work the unfolding in time is a bit like in minimal music, more about being than about doing. Repetition, variation, breaks, stops, unfold a being here.

Solo Perfor­mances

In the first ten years my work was carefully precomposed. An evening of dance consisted of three pieces.

1983–86 these evenings were called WENDEBLATT and consisted of VISIBLE, WENDUNGEN and WIEGENLIED.

1987–90 BEWEGUNGS­LIEDER I was made up of HORIZONTAL WALTZ, CUTTING BRANCHES FOR A TEMPORARY SHELTER and DUETT

1990–94 BEWEGUNGS­LIEDER II contained BIST DU, ORTE and LAUFLIED

Since then my work has incre­a­singly developed into immediate compo­sition. My perfor­mances now arise completely out of the moment itself, out of the meeting between my body and the moment, place and circum­stances of the performance.
