In this performance, a woman and a double bass encounter each other in a confined space. They are held together by an elastic cocoon. A tense dialogue begins, lasting up to 10 minutes. The performance premiered at the opening of the exhibition “Geisterklo” in 2008 at the Behringer Gallery in Munich. Parallel to this, a multi-part series of images was created in public spaces and on a roof top in Munich between 2008 and 2009, photographed by Anja Gerscher.

On the outside, a vibrant shell; on the inside, an intense dialogue between double bass and woman.
