LUCKY CHARM 2 

Watch on Vimeo

Guest artist Doro Seror: The study of painting and her dance‐body therapy activities are reflected in Doro Seror’s work by the high physical exertion and the vivid visual language. She deals with current issues of politics, society, environment and her own biography. Instead of relying on resources of the planet she makes use of trash to create her artworks. She does not only recycle existing objects that would have otherwise ended up in the bin but also reuses her own artworks. As a result, her work is in a constant process of renewal. The audience is deeply involved in the creation of her interactive installations. Based in Münich, Germany.

From items found on site and other relics I create bizarre small objects that I give away to the visitors of the Gottsunda shopping center as” lucky charms”. I invade the territory of these people and with my lucky charms, though the various encounters with them I will experience how strangers feel when they come into a new environment and want to contribute themselves, in a way that is unfamiliar to the local residents. All these absurd handicrafts are a means of establishing contact and trust and leaving traces of this encounter in the life of the people.
