Zeitlabor #2
The workshop is led by Cosima Grand, Mona De Weerdt and Demi Jakob

Explore with Cosima Grand, Mona De Weerdt and Demi Jakob how time feels beyond the clock.

Cosima Grand has long been researching the subject of time. Her central question: how do experiences of time feel beyond the clock? The time of waiting. The time of grief or pain. But also the time of plants, animals, and stones – and of processes like glacial retreat or species loss.

In the second Zeitlabor, Cosima Grand, Mona De Weerdt and Demi Jakob invite you to a time meditation. You move through a movement-based meditation. In it, you explore your own perception of time. And experience different forms of time physically.
