The project celebrates what connects people. We may all be different but we all have the same core desires of love, peace, security and hope. We have much more in common than our differences suggest.\nThe protagonists share their private stories and thoughts in an honestly refreshing way, as they answer 5 universal questions that we all ask ourselves at one time or another. They also offer a gesture of unconditional love.\nEach of these questions and the is the subject of its own film, with similar answers and counterpoints sewn together to build a narrative. The participants\u2019 answers trans\ufb01x us because they are so relatable.\nWatching and listening to other people allows us to see ourselves in others and offers us a way to start connecting.\nThe project includes six 20 minute films with Spanish subtitles:\n1. What makes you happy? \t  4. What advice would you give your younger self?  \n2. What are you scared of? \t  5. What are your hopes for the future? \n3. What do you love the most?    6. Gestures","space":"Performance\nI will meet with each participant for 30 minutes in public spaces around town + film them as they answer the same universal questions of the project. \n\nExhibition\nThe configuration for exhibiting the films is flexible + the space + equipment depends on how many films shown. Each film should be looped on a dedicated projector\/ screen, with seating. All 6 films or a smaller number of the films can be screened. I am happy to discuss and tailor this specifically with the curators.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/sylviaschwenk.com\/connect---private-link-to-all-films.php","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":15,"names":"Sylvia","surname":"Schwenk","email":"mail@sylviaschwenk.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"N6301115","address":"Rheinsbergerstr 36 10435","city":"Berlin","nacionality":"Australian","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1969-05-11T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1969-05-11T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+49 176 288 76469","web":"https:\/\/sylviaschwenk.com\/"}
