Etwas Aufnehmen (“Get in touch (with)”) is a performance about the sense of touch and the translation between the visual and the tactile. The performance was created through six months of research and exchange with a blind artist, a blind writer, an animal shiatsu expert, a translator of tactile learning materials and a dog (Betty).
Etwas Aufnehmen is a 30-minute performance at a 15-meter-long table with 80 kg of kinetic sand and was premiered at HfG Karlsruhe three times at the end of February 2023.
