Multidisciplinary Performance Project | Germany 2025
Back Feed is a playful and exploratory work that traces the subtle dialogue between body and mind through practices of embodied listening, responsive movement, and initiation. At its core lies a dynamic feedback loop where movement generates perception, and perception, in turn, generates new movement. This somatic inquiry extends into the medium of film, where live camera feeds and projections interlace with choreography, creating layers of mediated reflection and open new perspectives on presence, perception, and the fleeting nature of motion.

Four people convey their relationships with personal memories and contemporary environments, thereby exploring the shared space and time in which we exist.
In those vacant architectural or spatial settings, although the subjectivity of individuals may be replaced, what remains is the presence of human beings and their constant questioning. Self and reality, memory and dreams, space and time intersect here and mutually define each other.
