shortlisted for the SXSW art program 2020 ###

de/
Die VR-Installation „Sequence of a Horse in Motion“ ist die Dokumentation eines Traums der Künstlerin Katharina Haverich. Ein Mann hängt kopfüber und wird von einem Pferd umkreist. Durch ein VR-Headset wird der/die Zuschauer/in eingeladen, die ursprüngliche Traumsequenz der Künstlerin zu betreten, sowie die Position des Performers in der Live-Version des Stückes einzunehmen*. In ihrer Arbeit lässt sich Haverich von ihren eigenen und den Träumen anderer Menschen inspirieren und reproduziert diese zu performativen Inszenierungen. Ihre Arbeit thematisiert die Ephemeralität von Live-Art und Träumen, indem sie experimentelle Formate des Reenactments und der Reaktivierung erforscht.

* „Sequence of a Horse in Motion“ wurde ursprünglich als Live-Art Event mit einem Pferd und einem Tänzer vor Publikum inszeniert.

„Sequence of a Horse in Motion“ VR Installation is the documentation of a dream by the artist Katharina Haverich. A man hangs upside down and is circled by a horse. Using a VR headset, the spectator is invited to step into the artist’s original dream sequence as well as assume the performer’s position in the live version of the piece*. In her work, Haverich is often inspired by her own and other people’s dreams, reproducing them into performative events. Her work challenges the ephemeral nature of both live art and dreams, as she explores experimental formats of reenactment and reactivation.

* „Sequence of a Horse in Motion“ was originally staged as a live art event, performed by a dancer and a horse in front of an audience.
