Processing Queeromiko – Work in progress
An audiovisual exploration of morphing relationships, shared love and living spaces in a special kind of guest house, once designed by Wellington architect Roger Walker.
For over 30 years, a queer-friendly accommodation surrounded by green hills has celebrated fluid relationships and encounters between residents and visitors. To explore the community-specific emergence of sounds and relationships in a place where love, desire and living space are shared, where the necessities of limiting stimuli and respected boundaries are particularly important, Anna-Lea Weiand accompanies the small community for three months from December to March. At the end of the stay, Anna-Lea will share an initial summary of her impressions in a documentary and a deep listening reading at the Audio Foundation.
Artist:
Anna-Lea Weiand is a media artist, composer, speaker and listener. She is an artist who works primarily with installation, performance, sound and, more recently, moving image. Anna-Lea Weiand uses the mediums of documentary and music to convey physical, psychological and sonic depths and to evoke a collective experience on the border between loneliness and connectedness. She creates sensitive, perceptually sharpening situations in which one’s own relationships to the environment and to emotions can be consciously experienced.
She is a master student of Aernout Mik at the Academy of fine Arts Münster, Germany, scholarship recipient of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation and founding member of the artist collective Spiegelberg.
