Jan Rohwedder

Since 2009, Jan Rohwedder has been working on performative research that repeatedly turns to the object-like in choreography. Early works thematically deal with the power of images and iconic representations from politics, sport and advertising. In terms of content and form, the choreographies, performances and installations are structured according to instructions from scores and scores.
Since 2014, art spaces have also been transformed into performance and sound installations. Visitors to exhibitions there also become witnesses to performances through listening. The exploration of sound in connection with musical structures and score practices is increasingly leading to collaborations with composers and sound artists.
