Dislocated Headquarters
Originally, I wanted to ride through the halls of the Kunstakademie on an ice bear, Johannes Paul Raether encouraged me to do so. The Düsseldorf Zoo did not allow such an action. So I showed a few drawings, a performance and an installation.
- Isabella Fürnkäs
Lukas and Isabella fight with two sharpened knives, slowly slicing each other’s clothes open. Their interaction shows violent yet erotic notions full of trust and active-passive power, revealing naked skin. They chase each other through the hallways up to the rooftop of the Kunstakademie - a show- down battle between two lovers.
