MEDIATHEK

Work explores the role of public speaking within mediatised, neoliberal, capitalistic society, through questioning the social statuses of pop- and contemporary art icons and of new generation artists within the field of contemporary dance and performance.

As a hybrid choreographic performance of public speaking, dance and video, this work exposes different popular rhetorics from the art world that reflect nowadays conditions for art production that emerging artists continuously face with. By critical and analogical questioning of the statuses of such rhetorics within the wider context of popular culture, the aim of this work is to publicly analyse a general popularised image of the artist within society nowadays and the space of his (non-)act of political within it.

On a formal plan, work also analyses choreography within the sphere of immaterial form - language, producing the "language choreography" as an extended form of stage expression.
