Beatrice Marchi

Werkvortrag, 24.05.2023, (Aula)

Beatrice Marchi is a visual artist living and working in Berlin. Her practice, which ranges from painting to video animation, sculpture to sound and performance, revolves around the personal issues of being a woman, born in a traditionally patriarchal country as Italy, and a practicing artist, offering commentary on gender stereotypes, localism and the question of professionalization. Inspired by Jacques Lecoq's clown method - according to which exhibiting one's vulnerabilities unites us with one another - her work addresses some of the questions of being an individual in relation to a collectivity, exploring guilty conscience, dissatisfaction and the search for approval.

Students will be able to participate in the way that best suits their interests and skills.Participants are invited to bring clothes, objects, or tools that can be transformed into props and costumes for the characters.
