Performance: Latefa Wiersch – Hannibal

In the organizer's words:

PERFORMANCE
Latefa Wiersch - Hannibal

Latefa Wiersch's new performance, which will take place in the exhibition in April, thematizes the high-rise backdrop as a protective and threatening colossus and blurs the threshold between human bodies and dolls made of textile. The performance is part of the Dortmund Goes Black 2025 festival.

Latefa Wiersch (*1982 in Dortmund, lives in Zurich) works with sculpture, moving image and performance. She was a fellow at the Swiss Institute New York (2024), received the Swiss Art Award (2023) and the Swiss Performance Award (2022). The exhibition shows her work for the first time as part of an institutional solo exhibition in Germany.
