Notes:
"In this shadowy world of snitches and constant surveillance,
a pornographer named Carla (Carla Aulaulu) sells Joanna tidbits
about Franz's activities.."
Carla Aulaulu selling information and
porn out of her wicker handbag...The long, long static shots. The
long, long silences.

A woman roams through the streets of Berlin, a city defined by being inbetween.
Prenzlauer Berg, a neighbourhood of former east Berlin inhabited by artists and alternative thinkers experienced a boom in the 90s and has one of the highest birthrates in Europe. Yet still, physical emptiness is one of the defining characteristics of the city.
Carla is a peddler and informant who trades secrets through images displayed on a suitcase that she carries. As a ubiquitous presence, she moves through the city and appears within private courtyards, street corners, and U-Bahn stops. The scenes that she uncovers are of transitional spaces, entrances, hallways, aisles and waiting rooms. They are inbetween spaces, mostly empty, except for the brief appearance of a sole person who just as quickly disappears.
The performance focuses on the qualities of time and space within these interstices, and is a series of silent tableaux between physical/mediated space.
