Dr.Birger by Appointment, 2020-2021, Nieuw Dakota, Amsterdam
Participatory performance, Vagina Carpet, animation loops The (W)Hole, lounge chair by Elena Goray
Drawings: crayon on black paper, 35x25 cm each
Supported by Amsterdam Fund for the Arts and Beamsystems
Installation photos by Gerhard Vollberg
Dr.Birger by Appointment was a series of one-on-one conversations and drawing sessions set up in an installation format.
The dialogues with Dr.Birger (my alter ego) during Corona lock-down were centered on isolation, connectivity, and interdependence or something personal the visitors wanted to talk about.
Dr.Birger visualized the conversations with the participants, incorporating her own responses into the drawings she simultaneously made. Each session lasted approximately 20 minutes.
The drawings were titled by the names of the participants.
