VILLA GERD theaterperformance

art direction & model making

Gerd Schneider Company (GSG) - Mousonturm Frankfurt/M - 2009

director & acting: Mathias Max Herrmann - screenplay: Philipp Schulte

The GSG researches the life of the artist Gerd Schneider and presents its latest find: the Super 8 film VILLA, which portrays a house and its residents. The increase in internal pressure causes the residents inside the building to look for strategies of change, which sometimes turn out to be very different. Assimilation or destruction. It is these different (survival) strategies that Gerd Schneider documents using his VILLA and which, after evaluating the material and reconstructing the VILLA, are traced in a model of the house in VILLA GERD.
