works are 10-16 minutes long and are repeatedly performed (looped) up to 3 h without break. Audiences are invited to come and go as

they like. Premiering 2019 at 5 locations outdoors and indoors on Skeppsholmen Sweden, in collaboration with MDT and Museum of Modern Art, Stockholm, artistic direction Domink Grünbühel & Charlotta Ruth.


CITY GAMES

The City Games Vienna scratch card game Good Turk was released in September 2019. The scratch card play-mechanics follow the logic of City Games releases1918 and Paradise Lost. This time the game focuses on unknown Ottoman wonders in the Viennese culture and urban landscape (commission).

TREASURE HUNTING

Treasure Hunting is a participatory experience expanding and exploring the format of a Treasure Hunt. Participation resembles playing and constructing a computer game in a live environment. In Treasure Hunting you co-create your own and others journey with an emphasis on intuitive interpretation of tasks and clues. Treasure Hunting examines performative aspects of communication, liveness and temporal objects. It premiered as an immersive environment at WUK Werkstätten & Kulturhaus in 2016.


PUBLIC EREMITE

The solo stage performance Public Eremite played with shifts of dramaturgy and participation from being online and specifically looked at shifts of presence in the interaction with audience. It premiered at Tanzquartier Wien in 2013.
