Tintin Wulia is currently doing a residency at ZKM Karlsruhe as part of the exhibition The Global Contemporary – Art Worlds After 1989. She will come to Berlin to prepare her next interactive installation, that will potentially involve both the cities of Karlsruhe and Berlin. For that occasion, we invited her to give a presentation about her latest works.

The artist is interested in the different qualities of borders, such as spatial-geographical borders or cultural-ethnical borders, and its connection to mechanisms of power. Accordingly, she also explores the subject of migration in geopolitical terms. The artist works with objects, such as maps, passports or official family documents. She creates interactive installations that comprise a variety of media, such as videos, murals, texts, objects and performances, and encourages the audience to take active part in them.

Elements of chance and magic are part of her reflections about power dynamics in society, in the form of citizenship, ownership, local or global boundaries of language, space and time.

The event is hosted by Originalfassung and Arts and Conversation.

Arts and Conversation was initiated by Katerina Valdivia Bruch in 2007. It started first as a “living room” project called Haus Bruch, in which invited art practitioners gave a talk about their work. The invited participants were developing work in Berlin, so that most part of the presentations were about an ongoing project. The concept has been extended to invite experts in the field of cultural and/or social studies and humanities to do a presentation in Berlin.
