hannsjana

As the artist collective hannsjana, Laura Besch, Jule Gorke, Lotte Schüßler, Katharina Siemann and Marie Weich have been working together on performances, audio tours and video works since 2011. In doing so, they break with existing assumptions and take a humorous, poetic, musical and scientific approach to places and themes in order to make them tangible and explainable to themselves and others. In their works, the audience encounters human-animal beings that open up additional levels of meaning and discourse; they listen to songs about economics or ornithology, are secretly encouraged to eat in the museum, have art-historical discourses explained to them through aerobic exercises or have the opportunity to become shareholders in a performance.
