(un)sichtbarst
a research project about the female presence in public space
© Eva Baumann
(un)sichtbarst (German for in/visible) is a study that takes the female body image and its presence in public space and the media as a starting point for a choreographic-visual questioning.
Through the power of the images, each individual does not determine his or her own identity, but (unconsciously) accepts appointments in fashion and codes. Like avatars, we dress in casings, resemble accepted images, which we only question their basic intention when they restrict our freedom or when we consciously break out of them.
Wanting to be someone in society allows us to assume the same roles again and again.
In fact, we remain invisible behind the pictures.
The investigations represent a collection of material: Reflections, superimpositions, and collages create absurd distortions. The result was a video installation that took approx. 11 minutes and was shown in a loop.
In the live performance, two crinolines were put into focus and served as sculpting objects. In a choreographic experimental arrangement they thematize veiling on the one hand and visualization on the other.
