The film breathing psoas created a speculative body and a kinship of man and nature. The body, as an archive of traumatic memories, practices this transformation with somatics and nature. 

 

Anja Plonka explores the fields of performance, choreography and film in transdisciplinary artistic works. She has worked as an artistic assistant for Tobias Zielony, Stracke&Seibt, matthaei&konsorten, and the Theatre Cologne. Her performance works have been invited to Galerie MAAC Brussels, Actus Festival Liege, Performance Lab Cologne, 567h Sharing Gallery Koppelmann Cologne, CROSSOVER Performance Festivals Kiel, Body&Freedom Festival Zurich, Festival of Naked Forms Prague, Parse: Violence – the 4th Biennial Research Conference Gothenburg, the Blicke Film Festival Bochum and the European Film Festival Göttingen.
