SKALAE

SKALAE is a little universe I created in the shape of a futuristic fashion-dance-film and brought to life in collaboration with talented creatives from Berlin. It stands as my tribute to the profound beauty within the journey towards genuine self-connection and harmonious engagement with the world around us.
SKALAE (latin for „scale“) acts as a metaphor for the delicate emotional and physical balance we are all trying to achieve throughout our existence. Over time, I've come to realize that this perpetual quest for balance is a general theme in my art and this topic is present in all my works to varying degrees.
This film generally revolves around the question of "What is real and what is not?", a question that became rather prominent in our every-day lives due to digital advances. I absolutely do love creating (physical) illusions and technology continuously opens up new universes in doing so. But I really think one should never loose touch to ones true mental and physical self. „Real“ or „authentic“ already did become a designation for a specific kind of quality: Something that soothes us and brings us back to our roots. Realness is needed to calibrate ourselves and to re- gain perspective which helps us to avoid loosing ourselves in (digital) imagination. For me as a performance artist, my core goal in my work is authenticity which also became my principle of faith in life.
