Florentina Holzinger & Vincent Riebeek

“A radical examination of the human being’s relationship with his or her body.” Rheinische Post

After their physically intense flirt with the canon of body and performance art of the 1970s in Kein Applaus für Scheiße, and their passionate ode to spirituality in Spirit, the meanwhile internationally well-known duo concludes its first trilogy with the project Wellness. Starting points are the need for healing and the realisation of one’s own ultimate aims for well-being. Holzinger and Riebeek try to balance a healthy mind with a physical aesthetic inspired by beauty contests and competitions. To this aim they subject wellness treatments and measures to increase well-being, such as military-inspired CrossFit sessions, profound psychotherapy and session of meditating to a performed survey. For the first time in their collaborative work they are opening their intimate group of two to fellow comrades-in-arms. Together they will all be exploring which pop cultural elements display both enough ambition as well as influence to advance nothing less than the healing of the world. Wellness is committed with body and soul to the search for effective methods that dissolve personal fears into pleasure.
