What’s in your name? – 2022 – 2023

May 22, 2025 orangenminze Concept, Design, Research

Transhumance – alpine walking tour, 2020 →

Ring a door bell and listen to a personal name story.

So much is in our names: family tradition, ancestry, expectations, culture, religion, birth order, hierarchy, gender, history, characteristics, professions, landscapes, natural phenomena, origins, migration, oppression, misunderstandings, trends, legislation, a child’s right, and much more.

Research, concept and scenographical advice for and in collaboration with Larissa Mettler, OneHumanity, Zurich, Switzerland. The installation has been shown at: About us festival (2021, Zurich), Theaterspektakel (2024, Zurich), Haus der Religionen – Dialog der Kulturen (2024, Bern).
