THE FACE WITHIN - Making Of // Johanna Keimeyer

Enjoy a Behind the Scenes look at the making of THE FACE WITHIN, a video installation and performance by Johanna Keimeyer, which aims to make the inner world visible. This project features Keimeyer live, on stage, in an interview with herself while cameras record and project parts of her face. In the interview Keimeyer questions herself: “Where do my thoughts come from? What is the origin of my being? Who is looking through my eyes?“ Projecting her own body through clustered video screens, led by a dialogue, she visualizes feelings, perceptions and their limits.
“I invite the visitor to take a seat, perceive their bodies and step back to follow the current moment. There is no prescribed script just the vibrant liveliness of the now which lets the piece emerge. I want to explore deeper questions about identity and the core fundamental values that make us human, ‘Who are we?’“
“It‘s about giving up conditioning, looking behind the scenes. What is there?“ - Johanna Keimeyer
