with Matthias Gockel and Anja Maier

Many people do not realise that assisted suicide is permitted in Germany. Palliative physician Matthias Gockel provides insights into the importance of the topic in his everyday work. Anja Maier presents her project ‘The Promise’ about the assisted suicide of her parents.

What is silence for you? The experience of complete silence, as we might imagine deathly silence, is not possible for us humans. But, an approach is possible through meditation in white noise. This allows us to access deep inner processes.

Rituals express what we don't have the words for.
We will experiment with the effect of symbols and you will learn more about the structure of farewell rituals so that you can create them yourself.

Anger-works are a special element of the mourning art workshops. The death of someone close to you can trigger many feelings, including anger and despair. However, the last two are not very compatible with our social norms. Accordingly, the angry part of grief is rarely lived out. Forcibly transforming memorabilia provides a channel for this.

It is our image of the Grim Reaper that evokes our fear and repression. We adopt the attitude: death is the end. Everything is over and done.
Perhaps through the workshop, the Grim Reaper can unveil his disguise, and we can realize how fleeting and translucentmatter can be. Then we can get to the bottom of transformation.

The metaformance is related to the workshop ‘’Extinction‘’. A metaformance is a participatory situation without separation between spectator and audience, which aims at a profound shift in perceptual-cognitive structures towards an indeterminacy of experience.
