Niki in Kunst Oase (Hohenzollernstr. 58) stayed with us through the filming nights then made us Espresso cocktails in the mornings, when a mechanical squirrel watched us sipping from floral tea cups, with gilded rim, scratched. Golden particles jumped from one lip to another, whispers passed around, be aware, new life could be highly contagious.
 
"Early Signs" is the first chapter of ongoing project "The First and Final Girl", which looks into the reproductive powers of women as stories unfold one night after another. The complete works will be exhibited in September, 2023.
