3 Questions for ...

I. What is your favourite place to work from?

Different: I write emails in the office or early in the morning on the sofa. I like to watch videos on long train rides. Reading, thinking, developing concepts or writing texts I prefer to do in a café, ideally in the sun and while traveling, with some distance to Munich. The most important part of the work is of course watching theatre, performance, dance, film or visual arts in different places. Conversations with artists and colleagues again in the café, in studios or also in festival centers.

II. Which item do you absolutely need to take on your travels?

Always way too many books. I think through my individual items of clothing carefully, but then put another 5 - 8 books in the bag at the last second, in case the train is late or I have to wait somewhere ... Lots of medication, unfortunately. Never without scarf(s), various jackets and socks even in midsummer - I don't like to freeze at all. Thermos, a selection of teas and a water bottle. Sunglasses. Good intention: Never without yoga mat (usually the hotel rooms are too small though).

III. Which book accompanies you in your current artistic practice?
