Audiovisual Dance Performance and Film
by Stefanie Sixt (director/music/visuals) and Anina von Molnar (dance/choreography)
Premiere: 07/24/2012, 11h, State Textile and Industry Museum, Augsburg
in conjunction with the retrospective of Dorothea Reese-Heim. Exhibited from 07/24/ until 10/14/2012.

Photographs and close ups of the artistic work of Dorothea Reese-Heim are the substratum for the audiovisual dance performance and the film by the video artist Stefanie Sixt and the dancer Anina von Molnar.
Selected works of Reese-Heim are expanded by the dimensions of time and movement via an animated collage by Stefanie Sixt. The analog produced art of Reese-Heim is experiencing a digital extrapolation.
