Brigitte Dätwyler works performatively in workshop-like settings in which the experiences of the audience co-produce the content. In this way, her artistic practice repeatedly poses questions about authorship, the body, and encounter. In her works, it becomes possible to experience how bodies narrate, remember and connect. The overarching themes of work and learning become negotiable through discourses on success, failure, career development, and motivation. The shaping of everyday life and personal biographies are the cornerstones here. The dialogical potential of art is examined by means such as texts, conversations and interventions.
