An artistic research on intergenerational trauma, work-in-progress

2026
tauchgänge - of echoes and ghosts

Research Grant by the City of Wiesbaden
tauchgänge - of echoes & ghosts" is a collection, work-in-progress, topographing my artistic practice, in which poetry, non-linear storytelling, more-than-human-companions, dance, sound and visual textures intertwine. The tauchgänge (=deep divings) are part of an ongoing research revolving around transgenerational trauma and how bodies and their (hi)stories are entangled with their heritage, kinships and environment(s).

 

------------------------------------------------------ tauchgänge - of echoes & ghosts

what has been inscribed in our bodies?

what continues?

what do I want to remember? what do I remember & how?

what do I want to forget? what do I forget?

how are memory & fiction intertwined?

how can memory take shape?

which objects container memory?
 

TOPOGRAPHY = the study of the shape of the surface of the land with all its ups & downs

topo = place

graphia = to write, to record
