Spinner
Antonia Steffens & Sigrid Stigsdatter
light design/photography/video: Paulina Prokop
Since 2017, the collaboration of Sigrid and Antonia has centred around the idea that the artistic environment has a subjectivity, needs and expressions on its own terms. Shaped by transactional factors, such as time, research space and financial support, the practice has built different milestones to becoming its own landscape. For entering the landscape the two artists need to coordinate and spin around again and again the meaning of what it means to be together.
Oscillating around this notion of what meaning can be, their work creates vibrating forms and absurd approaches, where it is possible to give and receive meaningful information. Meaning is approached as always communicative and therefore always affective.
In their collaboration, the space in between is highlighted and consequently materialised; electrically charged with movement, attraction, repulsion, fascination, dreams, desires, misunderstanding and the never ending duty of attending the other. In this electric field lies the quality and aesthetic of a meeting, that expands into the sphere of where the spectator can meet themselves through joining them in imagination.
Calendar:
February 2020, Residency at Het Veem Theater, Amsterdam
February 2021, Festival "Bâtard", Brussels
May 2022, Vlaams Festival, Amsterdam
