PERIOD MUSIC
collective learning process by Susanna Gonzo, Farah Hazim, Irene Trejo, Elizabeth Gallon Droste, Agnese Menguzzato and Tuce Alba
Period Music is a collective learning process in which members listen, imagine, create and experiment together around personal and collective cycles and temporalities experienced through their bodies. This immersion takes place in sonic and imaginary realms that allow us to connect deeply with the rhythms of their bodies and the broader socio-cultural structures and planetary entanglements that interpolate these experiences.
At Atelier Josepha during their residency, the collective opened up space and time to share and co-create around the questions and notions of period music. Out of intuition, they wanted to acknowledge and immerse themselves in the plural temporalities with which they are entangled.

DOROTHEA HEINRICH

For her artistic projects, Dorothea Heinrich repeatedly seeks out specific regions over long periods of time. Travels to Mongolia and through Argentina have been essential to her – just as she is constantly drawn to the Alps and the Baltic Sea. In Dorothea Heinrich’s artistic work, the investigation of nature, landscape and wilderness is of central importance. It is her concern to decipher the fascination emanating from wilderness. At the same time, she aims at understanding the culture, the people and their forms of interaction and communication. She enters situations – taking them in wile taking pictures with keen and fine sensitivity. The development of Dorothea Heinrich’s artistic position is influenced by her wide-ranging exploration with various media. Painting and drawing shape the expression of her photography, which also captures cinematic moments.
