2019/20 WS Hay-Making – A transformation piece
From the „Heumandl“ to the Silo-Bale – A shift in traditions
the artwork transformed into a melting pot of disciplines and methods. a combination of media (printed photos, audio) and material (used silo film, hay) created the frame of interaction. a piece, working with smells and the visual experience of discovering a material without preferences, keeping the same calm rhythm. afterwards leading into an open talk, discussing the cultural, economical and social value of haymaking and dealing with the question of the shift in tradition and traditions as cultural heritage, touching fields like eco-design/art, performance art, economics and many more.

Theory and Practice of the Performing Body
Studio INTERACT | BA Major Art Teaching module | Interaction/Performance supervised by: Italo Zuffi (Studio Leader) Aim of this Studio is to explore the expressive and narrative potentials of the body, and employ it as direct work tool to design and implement projects involving a live engagement. The process we will follow is partly based on a pre-defined structure dealing with both physical and analytical work, and partly meant to allow self-generative extensions in relation to the dynamics and outcomes we will create. Inner listening – that is, the capability to define the atmospheric qualities of our state of presence and connection. We will often refer to it as a way by means of which to closely observe and assess our works, from concept to execution.
