FLINTA* people in particular, i.e. women, lesbians, inter-, non-binary, trans and agender people, carry out this care work. The group exhibition I CARE FOR YOU brings together various aspects of care work from the perspective of FLINTA* artists and artistically explores issues relating to care, visibility and social appreciation. The artworks offer very personal insights and tell emotional stories of caring for oneself during strokes of fate, of motherhood, of caring for relatives and friends and of the importance of caring and nursing in war zones. I CARE FOR YOU aims to create a space that encourages empathy and reflection on the often overlooked burden of responsibility. ICH LAG NOCH NIE SO GUTby Hybris (Felizitas & Theresa Hoffmann, Natalia Jobe)With the performative installation “Ich lag noch nie so gut”, the art collective Hybris processes personal experiences with family care. Based on the father's regular falls, the artists stage their care work with a red carpet. Helping them up becomes a physical and emotional gesture between intimacy and publicity.

It formed a building block for the planned war of aggression and the autarkist fantasies harboured by the Nazi regime – a testing ground between esotericism and efficiency. 220 hectares of acreage were cultivated by up to 1,600 prisoners, mostly Jews, Sinti, and Roma. Many died during their forced labour work. Following 1945, the affair lay dormant at first, before the area was sealed under concrete and industry started settling. Automotive and screw manufacturing, a weapons store, brothels, and a pastry shop moved in. A small remainder of the installation lies fallow today; the former NS-edifices are being used for the homeless and refugees. Performance collective Unpleasant Affairs invites the visitors to a take part in a performative inspection of the premises. How is this site that served the Nazis as a prototype for the research into compost, medicinal plants, and German herb production, therein adhering to anthroposophical principles of biodynamic agriculture, stratified today?

The project integrates personalities from politics and business to remind them of their responsibility and uses deepfake technologies to blur the line between reality and fiction. 90-95% of all deepfake content is image-based sexualised violence. Around 90% of this violence is directed against female readers. The face of an individual is copied onto pornographic content with the help of AI technology. The impression is created that this person is the performer in a porn film, even though this porn film was never shot in this way. The technology is now so good that a single photo is enough to replace a person's face so that the video looks deceptively real. The video installation addresses power structures and emphasises the responsibility of people from politics and business in relation to image-based sexualised violence against people who are read as female. The aim of the project is to present the new technology in a humorous way on the one hand and to expose the existing power structures on the other. https://theresahoffmann.uk/Das-Leben-am-Haverkamp Tue, 09 Apr 2024 14:46:35 +0000 Theresa Hoffmann https://theresahoffmann.uk/Das-Leben-am-Haverkamp SCREENING – ALTER EGOS Das Leben am Haverkamp Den Haag, Netherlands In the dark streets of The Hague, the window of the Das Leben am Haverkamp studio will transform into an open air cinema!
