Closer, 2022

Based on the multi-voiced format of the telenovela, CLOSER follows different stories.
Ambivalences, contradictions, myths and experiences are connected in individual and
collective narratives. CLOSER weaves a fictional net between human and non-human
protagonists. Coastal erosion and migration as well as accounting and mango puree play a role.
To date, the Prologue, Episode I (both video-based) and Episode II (performance) have been produced.
There will be 10 episodes in total.

Prologue, Episode I & II were exhibited at glasmoog, Cologne.
