Performance 2020

A performance artist tells the story of her art, her creative crises and how she was able to leave it behind in a little weird way. Matthias Wissmann: “My girlfriend and I wrote and produced “Performance” spontaneously in the weeks of corona crises lockdown in Germany. In these uncertain and weird dark times, we wanted to try the first step into the genre of mockumentary to mash it up with weird humor and exaggerate the significance of art.”

QRT: Sign, Zombie, Teqno - A Necrologue 2024 ( 7.5)

QRT – a condensed existence of the 90s in Berlin, sleepless and aimless, analyzing the themes of the time. Techno and heroin, heroes and saints, comics and film, philosophy and performance. He turned himself into a subject of radical living, too close, too intense. This documentary approaches QRT’s life and crafts an anecdotal biography through interviews with friends who look back on their shared time up to QRT’s tragic drug-related death in ‘96. Excerpts from his texts, published posthumously by Merve Verlag, are also presented.
