Sophiensaele Image Campaign / Art Work Poster, January 2016

Sophiensaele Image Campaign, spring 2016. Graphic Design: Jan Grygoriew


In January Peter Pleyer and I were commissioned to propose an image for Sophiensaele's Image Campain. Amongst our proposals, the photo with the mask made it onto the poster, and even on the cover of the program leporello. See the ones that didn't make it to the final round here.

Proposal Sophiensaele Poster, January 2016 - Photo/ Art Direction: Keuper Pleyer

Art work proposals for a poster commissioned by Sophiensaele Berlin. In collaboration with Peter Pleyer. A selection of images that didn't make it to the final round, but I find interesting nevertheless. We ended up using an image from this series for the invitation for our performance I SEE RED/ Interventions in March 2016.

Unfinishing / Costume & Set Design, September 2015

Michiel Keuper - Drum Kit Sculpture on optical illusion plinth for Unfinishing by Martin Nachbar, September 2016

In September I designed costumes and set for Unfinishing, a piece by Martin Nachbar in collaboration with drummer Steve Heather. It premiered in Sophiensaele (more info on the piece click here). The starting point for the costume was a contemporary form of shamanism. For the set I investigated in doubling and used the two pillars in the space as a center point. I replicated the drum kit Claes Oldenburg style in canvas. Also I made four optical illusion carpets/ plinths.

Dance: Martin Nachbar/ Drums: Steve Heather/ Dramaturgy: Jeroen Peeters/ Lights: Bruno Pocheron/ Costume, Set: Michiel Keuper/ Coaching: Zoe Knights/ Management: Susanne Beyer.

AUGURY OF AWRY SKY

“I have written things from the sky,
from the sky of the mind, the top of desires, the haven of dreams, from above the memories. the surface of deceit. Sparkling of stars.
I'm anywhere. Between torpor and duties, I have not learned how to give words to issues of feeling.

I land on a corner, making prayers to objects, making stuff, being a poet of the invisible, writing illegible words, building altars in order to proceed and abandon.

sometimes I imagine my fingertips able to touch the soft fur of wills existing in people. once touching flesh, there is time to expand in this tangle of hair. I bow in my knees. I am investigating the silences, not knowing quite well what to do, trusting on sweat. Giving leashes to birds, seeing shadows on chests, leaving the body shed.

Wishes of a sense bore me, I enjoy better all that permeates messy on my being, I am dumb for any subjects. I silently unlearn, browsing the eyes I take notes with my skin.

Stay, holding stimuli meetings, building each quiet cry spiked in the stomach and laughter of tits. I have security of nothing, I keep on risking, risk everything with the chalk that insanity gave in it's fiction. Generating God. Throwing stones into a river, digging into waste, embracing, shaking densities, documenting wind, waiting to be a kite, or a piece of cloud. 

10/11/'12 - 6:51 flight departure time - 2:54 hours from arrival - 11.582,4 meters high“
