For him, the experience of a cultural world is verified through the perception of a human act and another person.\n'In The Planet Where We Met' is a series of collaborative domestic actions, broad in scope which unfolds in a multichannel installation. They use a cup for drinking, a spoon for feeding, a tea-pot for serving. A game of stones is randomly played until it takes an enchanting turn. \nThese intentionally unscripted actions are performed by Ingrid Pumayalla (PE) and Mazen Khaddaj (LB). They have only just met each other in Germany. Yet, with their backgrounds and traditions in constant dialogue, the series of playful compositions reveals the exploration of their processes of familiarisation.\nGently persuading the viewers to decode its metaphors, the work convenes simple ideas of connection and the coexistence in a foreign context. It challenges our preconceived ideas and encourages us to lift our veils of anonymity.\nThe artists are committed to growing the series. New performances will form an archive of their evolution as well as the changing political, social and economic landscapes of physical places they meet in the world. Each incarnation will open possibilities to ponder what it means to be human and to consider how distinct societal constraints shape our existence.","space":"In The Planet Where We Met' comprises a multichannel video performance presented in a dynamically assembled landscape and the visitors' responses to the installation.\nThe installation offers an open-access experience presented in several layers: tall plinths hold and envelop the screens and set the scenery, the video performances are presented on the screens, sounds coming from the screens and separate speakers \nPlinth Size \n70x100x220  x 10 videos.  \nScreen size : variable.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[{"names":"Mazen","surname":"Khaddaj","email":"khaddaj.mazen@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"LR1742412","address":"L\u00fctzner Str. 704177","city":"Leipzig","nacionality":"Lebanese","country_id":"128","birthdate":"1985-05-03T05:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1985-05-03T05:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+9613588824","web":"http:\/\/www.mazenkhaddaj.com\/"},{"names":"Ingrid","surname":"Pumayalla","email":"ingridpumayalla@gmail.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"45616847","address":"AV.
