The artist Thomas Scheiderbauer developed the project KREISSAAL that is dealing with questions about the need for an alternative cultural and social budget. He invited me to present a performance within this frame. An old sofa, on which he exchanged ideas with numerous people about the topic and a mirrored pillor became the base for a performance, that illustrates the necessity for further funding opportunities by using different media.

Video sequences were projected on the sofa to convey topic-relevant thoughts and emotional landscapes. An initially minimalist aesthetic was suddenly flooded by fairytale-like szenes. Reduced sounds merged with pop-based kitschy tunes, a songtext of a Bud Spencer/Terence Hill movie met own text productions, which reflect my personal considerations and experiences. The mirrored pillor mutated into a lighthouse with a spinning light, that set the rhythm for the performance.
