As the artist collective HANNSJANA, Laura Besch, Alice Escher, Jule Gorke, Lotte Schüßler, Katharina Siemann and Marie Weich have been working together on performances, audio tours and video works since 2011. In doing so, they break with existing presuppositions and humorously, poetically, musically, and scientifically take on the examination of places and topics in order to make them experienceable and explainable to themselves and others. In their works, the audience encounters human-animal beings that open up additional levels of meaning and discourse; they hear songs about economics or ornithology, are secretly incited to eat in the museum, have art-historical excursions explained to them through aerobic exercises, or are given the opportunity to become shareholders in a performance.
