Katharina Birkmann
Katharina Birkmann works on theories and practices of cross-disciplinarity with focus on moving images, documentary theatre and narrative multimedia installations.
Virtual archives, by simultaneously "being in space", re-animate hybrid impressions of space, time, memory and knowledge.
The Würstelprater and its historical development since 1895, between real places and fictional architectures, introduces concepts of representation, authenticity, visibility and stories of simulation, re-naming and virtuality.
The potential to make archives spatially experienceable as scripts for storytelling - documentary or fictional - enables experiencing and actualizing history as story.
