I AM AN IMMIGRANT (2025/26)

Heterogeneity is a phenomenon of our present. Even if the omnipresent shift to the right and the resurgence of right-wing ideology and parties in Germany, Europe, and the world refuse to accept this fact, let alone counteract it. Public pronouncements on urban society have recently dominated the media. Therefore, I see it as extremely urgent to respond artistically, to literally take action. With my blazers bearing the inscription "I AM AN IMMIGRANT," I want to make a stand. I am intervening in our everyday lives. Every wearer becomes part of this counter-movement, which truly sees diversity as an opportunity. In my performance in public space, five performers with a migration background share their thoughts and experiences in fragmented form. A puzzle. A protest chorus. Using megaphones, the performers make a statement in public space, where the discussion belongs — in a maximally democratic way, inviting participation, attention, and a brief pause. To reconsider behaviors, to empathize, and to express their feelings poetically. Sensitively and powerfully.
