    Wrong Step (the reading) | 2016

A performative reading of my piece Wrong Step (from 2013) which consists of a fictional company and public agenda, postcards, flags and three reflective boards with an original text, drawings, and collages, describing a fictional court prosecution of a misplaced footstep located in Frankfurt am Main. During the reading, I always wear a headlamp with fresh batteries and read in darkness. Every now and then I look into the audience, that surrounds me very closely, and blind many of its members by the interaction.
