Club Swap
2018, 2-channel video installation (HD), 16 minutes, sound
Installation view: studio
During my residency in a small German city, I cooperated with local clubs, which are specific for the local social life. Each club is focused on one common hobby or activity.
For my project, I initiated an exchange between these clubs. I encouraged each club to give another club insight into their activities by offering a beginner‘s workshop of their activity.
The video installation shows nine different clubs, posing for a group portrait in the surroundings of another club. In addition, individuals are filmed as they try out the activities of the other club.
The clubs are social spaces. But membership also means exclusiveness and excluding non-members. In my work, I try to challenge routined senses of belonging and create a social exchange.
