The Alchemy of Identity: A Performative Journey Through Hay and Gold at ILLULAB - KALTBLUT Magazine
Briefly

The recent performance installation 'JNN D'RC' at Illuseum Berlin, co-created by Elodie Carstensen and Marie Zechiel, presents a unique exploration of identity through sensory experience and communal ritual. Centered around a sizable hay mound, the installation prompts attendees to engage deeply with the question "Who is she?" by connecting their personal narratives with collective identity. Emphasizing female experience, the performance features an engaged audience who participates by adorning a solitary performer with gold leaves, symbolizing shared truths against societal expectations.
At the heart of the installation loomed a monumental mound of hay, its golden tendrils crafting a tactile monument that felt intimate and unsettling.
Each attendee was handed a singular gold leaf, a token of personal engagement, creating an intimate exchange that became a shared commitment.
