This atelier tackles the paradox unique – and liked by everyone. What does the ultimate front figure look like? How does it behave and how does it move? Where can you observe this better, if not inside pop culture? We will analyse image, power and strategies of the music industry. We work with a variety of expressions and examine how Stars are made: We create our own choreography and moves, sing, film and post our own videos on youtube.
We will create fictive idols and look at how we, ourselves, consume. What do we want? How is our taste shaped? Who do we worship and why? How does it affect our own identity? We will take a starting point inside pop culture, but question how society is affected – on a larger scale - by the rules of fame and fortune that the internet sets.
