Pip pip, aio oia

Past is present and present is past, all is one and one is all

Kunsthaus Wiesbaden
Part of Wiesbadener Kunstsommer – FLUXUS S(I)EX TIES (2023)

Pip pip, aio oia was developed during a week-long artistic residency at the Kunsthaus Wiesbaden, bringing together artists working with movement, sound, and time-based media. The project formed part of the Fluxus-inspired program FLUXUS S(I)EX TIES within the Wiesbadener Kunstsommer.

Throughout the residency, the ensemble created a series of improvised actions and performances inside the Kunsthaus, alongside spontaneous flash-mob interventions in urban space.

Within this framework, Sanja Star developed live visual systems projected during the performances. The visuals evolved through digital improvisation, generating shifting image structures that interacted with movement, sound, and spatial conditions.

Alongside the live projections, Star documented the performances and flash-mob actions on video. These recordings later re-entered subsequent performances, creating a recursive media structure that extended the temporal development of the work.

The collected material formed the basis for a film that reinterprets the residency process, combining documentation and performative media into a layered time-based composition.
