#10: Ulf Aminde
Ulf Aminde’s personal encounter as the prerequisite for the artistic work process; a second is its contemplation in the sense of Bertolt Brecht’s Epic Theater. Although he inevitably works with other people as a director of theater and performance projects and films, for him it is the clash of his interests, expectations, and desires with those of the others that becomes the subject and core of his productions.
Alternatively as accomplice, rival, and/or companion of “people on the verge of a crisis,” like those that have an interest in the relationship of an individual to society, he develops images together with them that negotiate questions of identity, social roles, and, thus, his own position as artist.
