What is an Out of Body Experience?Conversation with Joachim Koester in a courtyard in Berlin, September 14th, 2014.
It’s always the same: the point is that on the one hand we are in danger of burning up, of evaporating, of going too fast, of dissolving, and on the other hand we are in danger of freezing, rigidifying, of becoming mummified and unable to move. Dizziness contains within it both extremes.

Based on the assumption that there is a human tendency toward seeking ecstatic feelings and risk, resulting in dangerous outcomes and potentially addiction, Gerald Koller trains individuals in local communities, citizen organizations (COs), and regional government programs to develop responsible behavior in risky settings.
The blurring of art’s boundaries enables it to cross-pollinate and conquer new territories.
“Dizzy Dress” is a colourful silk dress featuring anatomical illustrations of the inner ear and findings from our research on dizziness.
This screening program is part of the larger networked exhibition and event series Iliggocene-The Age of Dizziness.
