Vivien Tauchmann | What are the urgencies of our times?

Vivien Tauchmann produced five »Self-As-Other-Trainings« that were shown throughout the festival. The »Self-As-Other-Trainings« address the necessity of educating our bodies through the decontextualization of these silent exclusions and the active embodiment of the »other« in choreographed storylines in order to evoke critical self-reflection and eventually provoke behavioral change. Her work seeks to demonstrate that empathy is not only a rational capability, but also a physical state of mind through which we can reshape our connections to people beyond our known scope.

This festival was organized by the ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medien Karlsruhe and the Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe
