The project explores the societal norms and expectations placed on women. Through the use of mixed media such as photography, videos, and a movement workshop, it sheds light on the issue. Taking inspiration from the movement of Physarum Polysephalum, the project showcases the freedom of expression that women are entitled to in all aspects of their lives, including their sexual desires, without compromising their values. | The project explores the societal norms and expectations placed on women.

The struggling pattern that I expected to see before the experiments | The struggling pattern that I had expected to see before conducting the experiments was not observed the way I had imagined. Slime moulds are incredibly clever organisms, hence, they were able to find a way to reach the food source even in challenging circumstances. However, this doesn’t mean that the slime moulds in both experiments did not suffer, as the way that the experiments were conducted already affected their nature. Some of them had to go through a difficult journey, and some of them had to face severe living environments. In the end, both groups dried out unnaturally in the containers where I put them. | ||
I was inspired not only by the beauty of the struggles as a way of growing, but also by the decisive desire that drives them to create new possibilities. I collected my thoughts from the observation and combined them with the Gaga dance practices. Through the framework of connecting our bodies, their bodies, and imaginations, experiencing physical sensations, and emptying ourselves to fill in with new sensations, energy, and movements. | |||
I compiled the results from both experiments into a video work that aims to portray the sensation of oppression and the desire to be free. | |||

'''2. The Movement Workshop''' | |||
The movement workshop employed Gaga dance techniques as a tool to help participants open up their bodies and make them available by emptying old sensations, beliefs, and experiences to create new possibilities. Combining the inspiration of the slime mould's patterns and movements, which embody desire, inner drive, courage, and freedom, the workshop aimed to help participants reconnect and reform their relationships between themselves, their inner needs, and nature. | |||
The first part of the workshop provided a safe space for participants to open up physically and mentally through discussions leading to movement practices that broke down the topic into fragments, allowing participants to gradually let go of their personalities, senses of self, including movements, voices, thoughts, pains, and pasts, and embrace their present state of being without labeling themselves. | |||
In the final part of the workshop, the energy generated in the first segment was harnessed and channeled through a poetry reading that aimed to encourage participants to express their drives, feelings, and emotions through words. The goal was to empower the participants to freely transform the new energy they had created, unburdened by any fear or hesitation. As the participants embodied their newfound energy, they experienced a sense of renewal, discovering new facets of themselves in their own unique way. This process allowed them to uncover the hidden power within themselves that could be used to empower themselves and others. | |||
Overall, the workshop was designed to challenge and inspire participants to break free from their limitations and unleash their creative potential by utilizing Gaga's techniques and drawing inspiration from the movements of slime mould. Participants are encouraged to embrace their innermost desires and passions and to harness the boundless energy within themselves. | |||
The workshop took place on March 25th, 2022, at the DBL (Digital Bauhaus Lab) with two participants: Martin Müller and Lisa Zwinzscher. | |||
