EM:MA - 71 souls

2016, Video installation, live-stream

EM:MA appears as web-aunt, who enters the wheels of a boundless (wo)manpower market. A self-proclaimed ambassadress, who appears as a syndrome. Maybe as a burning symptom. For what? She works on her body, one of many and negotiates online a shared Now. EM:MA observes the medial news coverage and the behind. She looks for fractions and scars and tries, to make them speakable and visible. She enters traumas of the world, uncovers their inscriptions along the skin and rewrites them. Rewrites them. Alternative neuralgic GIFs are tied, new narratives get spoken.

A weekly polidrama, a figure of civil society, who rattles with the dispenser. Because she dreams a poetic business and you can support it! EM:MA collects money for an online-service from human-to-human. She betakes on the erosional joints of a present and propagandises very individual empowerment as tool for change. EM:MA sets herself to a weekly storytelling show into the open-source channel. Politics, activism and cosmetics in practice.
