Again and again weird things like a dark round body appear by the roadside. Inner thoughts oscillate quickly between life and death
"A thing is, what is in the way, what was thrown there." (Vilém Flusser)
The installation focuses the banal thing that is given no attention and bursts into the intimity of the remains. Thrown away things are like statements against the timeflow- in that way the white dress appears like a dead relict of a past story, a lovestory...?

The videomaterial was developed in the frame of the artist residence COLINA (Collaboration in Arts) curated by Rui Horta - in Montemor/Lisbon, Portugal, july 03.
tat Ort is a production by mouvoir/Stephanie Thiersch and was developed for "tanzmedial Vol.1", international dance and media exhibition by SK Culture Foundation, Cologne
