Irene K. - A person in a red outfit interacts with multiple red strings stretched around them, arms raised and head resting on the strings in a thoughtful pose—a striking moment from the site-specific performance Inside Time/Outside Space. Another figure is blurred behind.
Irene K. - A child in a red shirt stands partially hidden behind green bushes, gazing through metal bars and several horizontal red strings—an evocative scene that echoes the spirit of zeitgenössischer Tanz by Compagnie Irene K. A light-colored wall forms the backdrop.
Irene K. - In this site-specific performance, two people perform on grass near a stone wall—one bending low and the other seated with a drum. Behind them, in the doorway, another plays cello as strings stretch overhead, merging inside time/outside space.
Irene K. - Two people in colorful clothing and sneakers are dancing or performing between rows of taut strings outdoors in front of a white building with large windows. They appear to be mid-motion, with one lifting the other.
Irene K. - A person in a red skirt and top dances energetically outdoors, their back to the camera, as part of a Compagnie Irene K Tanzperformance. Red diagonal strings stretch across the scene, with blurred buildings visible in the background.
Irene K. - Two dancers of a professionelle Tanzcompagnie move gracefully behind horizontal yellow strings, with dramatic lighting casting shadows. One stretches an arm upward, the other arches back, both creating dynamic shapes in this expressive Bühnenkunst.
Irene K. - Colorful strings from a Kunstinstallation stretch diagonally across a city square with historic buildings, a church, and a dark, cloudy sky. People walk nearby and some sit at outdoor tables, experiencing Tanz im öffentlichen Raum.

A completely new and unique performance arises at each venue,
as the location itself, its history, its architecture,
and its purpose influences the choreography.
The uniqueness of each place serves as an inspiration for the art installation. It offers the audience a new perspective on the respective location.

The installation consists of a multitude of thin linen threads. The installation separates or connects, it casts a diffuse veil. The encompassing fabric creates individual spaces and walls, different places of sensation and perception.

All these tangled threads represent frontiers, physical or imaginary, moral or real. The art installation and the performance are metaphors for our entangled lives as we commit ourselves to cohabitation within a complex social weft, raveling and unravelling, tracing smooth or chaotic trajectories of variable geometry.
