The performance tackles a personal lo-fi archaeology of being online and deals with the internet as a place of orientation and missing out, of inclusion and exclusion. In a shadowy surfing setting, Caroline Creutzburg unleashes upon herself the endless expanses of the WWW that she encounters during a simple Google search and that lead her to the borderlands of the meaningless. Reconstructing her own browser chronicle, she searches for fissures to inscribe herself retrospectively into the biography of the web. Between user-generated internet culture and the Teflon capitalism of big tech, the work struggles for a protest beyond dystopian mainstream platitudes.

Die Leiche loswerden
This speculative and haptic exploration of urban space addresses the concept of being materially involved. Groping one’s way along throughout one’s surroundings, inducec a macro-consideration of one’s science and fiction. Modern age men imagined the apocalypse to be more glamourous, but now they are getting overgrown by trivial and lifeless material. What is the status of particulate matter in the context of the six mass extinctions? Where does one place oneself in the horror of “alien ecologies”? Verbal narration, Wedding’s anthropogenic landscape, and virtual visualization are superimposed upon one another in this work.

Woman With Stones
Why are you looking at me now? Why are you looking at me again? What if I pulled my teeth? Cut my hair underneath my chin?
(Grimes feat. Janelle Monáe)
What if biomass and subjectivity were distributed differently between nature and humankind? – Or seen from a different angle: What if nature herself wore drag? Temporary humanoid figures enter the space. They invoke divas and stones and let them coincide in their bodies as versions of a shared identity. They devote themselves to the relationship between these imaginary subjectivities and provoke an interaction of emerging and disappearing, of assimilation and dissimilation. In her new piece, Ponto Performance Prize winner Caroline Creutzburg and her team track down bodies and theatrescapes between curiosities and realities of different worlds.
