Elisabeth is ver excited to be presenting her photographic exhibition STADTKÖRPER at Dance Live Festival Aberdeen throughout October. More information on: httpss://www.dancelivefestival.co.uk/exhibition

STADTKÖRPER

The project STADTKÖRPER was inspired by the architectural city scape of Berlin, which I had the chance of exploring during a stay in 2013. Even though certain parts of the city are marked by new constructions, chains and restorations, the historic traces of the city are omnipresent and hard to overlook. The way in which the energy of these traces, their heaviness and their decay manifests itself in the everyday presence inspired me to try to capture them in the interplay between dance and photography. Dance, an artform of presence, unites with the still image of photography; thus atmospheres, expressions, shapes and impressions are being captured.

The working process was from the very beginning conceived as a collaboration with various different photographers. In all this, I have been particularly interested in the individual approaches of the subject movement, but also in the diverse perspectives on buildings, the city scape, and especially their framing and composition. How does the still image of photography capture what seems to inevitably escape it?

The exhibition shows a selection of images that have been created throughout this project.

 

In September, Elisabeth will be in residency together with artists William BilWa Costa and Jasmin Schaitl to create a new work called pan-oscillate that will premiere at WUK Vienna in December 2016.

The residency will take place at BAINS Connective in Brussels.

There will be shows of ‘tasks’ on September 24 and October 15 at Bains Connective Brussels & Szenne Art Lab Brussel.

‘A Dancing Archive’, the new piece by choreographer Artémise Pleagearts, is currently on residency in Germany. It will premiere on November 19th at Oostblok Theatre in Amsterdam.

In August, Elisabeth will be performing ‘Historical Dances in an Antique Setting’ by Pablo Bronstein at the Tate Britain for the last time.

‘It has really been quite a special experience as you dance from morning till night as life is happening around you and people react in so many diverse manners: many smile when they walk past and old and young join in and copy moves sometimes. And in the dance you sometimes get a glimpse of the impressive and historic sculptures and paintings in the rooms next door.’

Der Spiegel / The Mirror is a new work by Finnish Company Mamia. It is a solo which will premiere in March 2017 in Finnland and tour afterwards.
