Denise Schellmann processes her Romantic Manifesto in her video performance. She refers to the transitory validity of principles, of rules. Her inner voice guides her towards her 13 oughts of her Romantic Manifesto of the Arscientic Andism. She explores several intimate options of constructing and deconstructing it.
„Micro Live Drawing“, 2017
Drawing Performance
In her performance Denise Schellmann projected a living water droplet live on a large scale paper (112 x 83 cm) through video recordings in a light microscope. Through her graphic intervention in the projection, she experienced a fusion of the microcosm with the macro level. „I recognized an awareness of the interconnectedness of everything with everything, a fusion of invisible structures“. Due to the changing water droplet followed by the changing image in the projection, a drawing of several superimposed layers was created, which can be seen as a map of the dynamic life of our (own) microcosm.
