Thermogenesis - How to light your inner fire
semester topic „Prometheus Erbe“Nine-channel video installation, 07:40min, 5:4, color, sound, 2023
The nine channel installation Thermogenesis - How to light your inner fire is a performance about the absurdity of pseudo-scientific self-help videos. A tutorial guides us through nine steps in the search for our inner fire, which culminates in sensory overload.
If we measure the quality of our lives by the amount of things we achieve, this leads to an economization of time. This social tendency towards acceleration leads to narcissistic competition. It is examined whether self-alienation paradoxically arises through subjective work in the pursuit of self-realization, authenticity and autonomy.****
