to / nip in the bud

15 prefixes is a work that uses punctuation to alter the meaning of commonly used words gleaned from media and conversations across 2020 and 2021. 

It demonstrates what Karen Barad (2020) calls the cutting together, apart, offering what might be new constellations of thought or different kinds of openings for thinking otherwise.

Turn / over a new leaf 

The work entitled Home asked residents and non-residents in the surrounding areas of the historic Woolstores site in Brisbane to provide an anonymous written response to the question, what makes a place a home?

This work was developed into a repetitive statement based on the responses received from the community.  It was displayed inside one of the living spaces of the Woolstores, visible from the inside and outside of the site at street level, allowing the community to view and reflection the different viewpoints about home.

This work was displayed as part of the 2018 Woolstores Project.

We, photographer Caroline Wimmer and illustrator Sebastian Blinde, are a team of visual artists, frequently working together on various project e.g. for Berghain (Berlin) and festivals like Garbicz, (Poland). 
Usually Caroline does the photography as a “base” for Sebastian to work his magic with illustration on it. This time it started with a three-dimensional headpiece by Sebastian, a hawk moth, guardian of our beautiful witch Mina Medusa. 
Normally we use a lot of post production but this time we created all the effects with photographic technics alone (long exposure and colorful lighting).

Dear Berliners,

I would like to invite you to read one of the projects I am working on this year!

In the link below you can read the invitation for the project (also in my profile)
goo.gl/fF1Wwb

My project this year consist in investigating and use as a theme the current problem most of the people 
have (or had) in Berlin (as an immigrant, refugee, young people, old people...in general)

The main idea was to understand the relation between the home and the idea of identity, how do we relate ourselves to our space, how this experience can have a real effect on me as a person and how an artist deal with the creative process when practical decisions must be done every time!

If you are interested or know anyone who might be interested, please let me know! Any conditions are welcome, the only rule is the person feel open to let me get in for one week!

Thank you for your time

Caro

NO FURNITURE - ONE YEAR PERFORMANCE

Creating Physical Text - with Caroline Alves


Class description

How can the word be used in a phonic level in order to create a “word embodied”? How can the same “movement-score” transform itself in many others? This class is a research focusing on the movement produced from the use of voice, text, and breathing. We will explore movement dynamics through dance and improvisation techniques as well.

Using physical tasks, limitations and scores developed by the participants during the class we will investigate methods to edit these physical-scores. We will experience different developments of the same physical-material.

The participants are encouraged to take risks by using their particular qualities and also their weak points in order to develop their own personal potential of creating and moving.

Bio
Caroline Alves is a Brazilian dancer, teacher and choreographer based in Berlin.
After working as a co-creator-dancer in the State Company of Minas Gerais: Companhia de Dança Palácio das Artes (Belo Horizonte – Brazil) for 7 years, she continued her work on the independent scene as a dancer and researcher.
In the last few years she has worked with different choreographers and performed around Brazil and Europe. Throughout her professional career she has been developing experiments with improvisation and composition in the field of contemporary dance. That work contains strong research in dance dialoguing with physical theatre using repetition as a tool to transform the movement and to achieve different physical states.
Currently lives in Berlin and is part of the collective Grupo Oito. Also develops projects in partnership with other Berlin artists.
