Talent

Janina Audick's stage designs are not merely a backdrop, but an integral part of the performance. Actors move not only within the scenery but also in conjunction with it: performers become images, and images become performers. Janina Audick works closely with words, moods, and emotions. Her stage designs are subtle and intrusive, loud and restrained, uncomfortable and soothing. She draws inspiration from the thoughts of theorists such as Hannah Arendt, Donna Haraway, and Judith Butler. The pressure of society and the inequality of power dynamics concern Janina Audick and find expression in her work, which is always unconventional, humorous, political, provocative, and beyond the mainstream. Janina Audick opens spaces where there were none, defines them, and expands them. The publication TALENT explores Audick's rich body of work; it is an exhibition of her creations and goes beyond that, in an intimate manner.
