Kurzbiografie
The Symbiotic Approach is a performative research project by Julia Hainz and Carmen Westermeier. Their uniquely developed artistic method makes site-specific power structures visible, drawing on the physiognomic and functional differences through which bodies are perceived in a society oriented toward standardization. The two artists seek to create counter-narratives by centering a "symbiotic" relationship, either between themselves or with technology. In biology, symbiosis refers to the coexistence of multiple organisms for mutual benefit. In their performative practice, they translate this concept onto their own bodies, capturing their symbiosis through the use of various media.
