Agility in Norm, 2021

Dream Birds, Video Performance, 2021
Dancers: Stuttgart Ballet Louis Stiens and Shaked Heller

Dream birds
The floating caw-caw
The britilla hen
The parrot arachnis
The zeon pink swan
There’s a chip in the ceiling
A new parliament bill
That says
„Freedom of creation
For our brilliant young“
People the sky with your wand-strokes
In the age of diminishing life
Across the blank dioxide above us
Invent
New
Colors
That
Fly

The project „Agility in norm“ explores the tension between manual intuition and industrial norm. It explores boundaries and intersections and creates its own empathic expression.
The manual yarn dyeing process was integrated into the industrial production process of a Knit-and-Wear machine and now offers insights into poetic color phenomena in the form of intarsia in DIN A4 format on the sweaters.
The intarsia thrives on both machine complexity and manual unpredictability. The patterns created on the knitting machine emerge anew each time in controlled randomness. Through the iterative form-finding and the dialogue between manual experimental coincidence and machine planability, a textile liveliness emerges that speaks its own language.
