of international production houses.
2021 Work sample Supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia as part of NEUSTART KULTUR 2021 "The Other Reason - Exaltation. Trance. Ecstasy" An installative Performance by Bößer & Szörenyi "The Other
Reason - exaltation, trance, ecstasy" is an installation
performance combining contemporary dance, live music, video
projections and liquid materials creating images and spaces
where stasis and flow, inner and outer entangle. Bößer &
Szörenyi aim to free the energies of disintegrating states
of consciousness while dissecting them, through the senses
and formally. Supported by Thomas Klein's oscillating pull
of tribal beats and amplified by acoustic and visual rhythms
and effects, The Other Reason takes both performers and
audiences on a horizon-expanding journey between projection
and imagination. Movements, images, sounds, smells and your
own play of thoughts merge into a space of suggestion,
atmospheric density and growing openness. Immersion in other
states of consciousness does not represent a flight from the
world, but a purposeful calling of the "other reason" - a
horizon of consciousness beyond the rational. artblau Tanzwerkstatt (Dancestudio) Braunschweig / Lower Saxonie / Germany

| Pieces of Manifesto / 2018 |
||||
|
Words crystallize and take the physical space around them – they become text, become textures. They turn into a programmatic object. A manifesto, by definition, concentrates and fixates. Two artists - two manifestos merging into one voice, one dialogue, to a canon of self-analysis, a polyphonia of statements. No text, no voice, but an installative and interactive manifesto expanding in the space. Karen Bößer looks at the object with a choreographic view and exercises the language of her movement on the seemingly motionless item. At the same time the visual artist Beatrix Szörényi dedicates herself not only to the figurative, but also to her own performance. In ‘Pieces of Manifesto’, the two artists correlate performance, object and installation with each other in an exemplary, experimental arrangement. They uncover the specific forms of communication, conventions and models of their disciplines. A performative space installation, which as a hybrid questions the conditions of the artistic creation as well as the limits of the respective genres. Bößer and Szörényi expose the fragments of their manifestos and move gracefully within the manifestations of their creations. ‘Pieces of Manifesto’ invites the spectator to join them. Each iteration of the piece presents a new recombining of the various events, in accordance with and reflecting on the givens of each specific performance and audience situation, and presentation context.
