I was hoping to go without Psychoanalysis…
is a rather ironic title. It hints to the process of development: While the starting point may be found in bio-design, it simultaneously investigated the social  and personal relations with Kombucha.

The process of putting on the suite was assisted and narrated in a dialog with my partner Nils Jessen. It evolved around questions on normativity, queerness and the common misconception of the singular body. Its dramaturgy is borrowed from Paul B. Preciados speech “Can the monster speak?”, replacing his autobiography with my own and the metaphoric quotation of Kafka with references to Mary Shelley´s “Frankenstein” in the process.
The “monster” Frankenstein creates is an assemblage of limbs – symbiotic and queer in the sense that it is not one with itself. Shelly marks clearly that this calm, loving and reflective more-than-human is forcefully pushed in the role of the monster through ongoing stigmatization and isolation.

At the end of our performance in Lauenburg I was diving into the near Elbe river, slowly drifting away. The self announced monster cleansed itself, while also being released into the world outside of the art-laboratory. Afterwards the basin was reset to grow another suite.
