English:
Infinite Stage is a solo exhibition and a dormant stage, activated through 45-minute performances. The exhibited objects carry multiple identities: they exist as sculptures, but during the performances, they transform into scenery and props. The video works function as the skeletal structure of the performance timeline, shaping its rhythm and progression.
At its core, Infinite Stage explores death and digitality. In post-capitalist society, the denial of death is already deeply embedded in systems of consumption, preservation, and endless production. Today, this denial reaches another level through technology. "Ghostbots" – chatbots created from a deceased person's emails, photographs, memories, and digital traces – allow the living to continue a dialogue with the dead.
The performance unfolds as a series of interconnected scenes in which live music, dance, readings, and video interactions become entangled. Infinite Stage focuses on the accumulation and layering of media. Its aesthetic moves between a baroque density of forms and silent, meditative moments, creating a constant tension between excess and stillness.

Deutsch:
Infinite Stage ist eine Soloausstellung und eine ruhende Bühne, die durch 45-minütige Performances zum Leben erwacht. Die ausgestellten Objekte tragen multiple Identitäten: Sie existieren als Skulpturen, verwandeln sich aber während der Performances in Bühnenbild und Requisiten. Die Videoarbeiten bilden das Skelett der Performance-Timeline und formen ihren Rhythmus und Verlauf.
Im Kern erforscht Infinite Stage Tod und Digitalität. In der postkapitalistischen Gesellschaft ist die Verleugnung des Todes bereits tief in Systemen des Konsums, der Konservierung und der endlosen Produktion verankert. Heute erreicht diese Verleugnung durch die Technologie eine neue Ebene. "Ghostbots" – Chatbots, die aus den E-Mails, Fotos, Erinnerungen und digitalen Spuren einer verstorbenen Person erstellt werden – ermöglichen es den Lebenden, den Dialog mit den Toten fortzuführen.
Die Performance entfaltet sich als eine Reihe miteinander verbundener Szenen, in denen Live-Musik, Tanz, Lesungen und Video-Interaktionen miteinander verwoben sind. Infinite Stage fokussiert auf die Akkumulation und Schichtung von Medien. Die Ästhetik bewegt sich zwischen barocker Formdichte und stillen, meditativen Momenten – in einer konstanten Spannung zwischen Überfluss und Stille.
