Courage

Ensemble of Pen and Ink Drawing and Video Performance

The video performance „Courage“ questions to what extent one would really act courageously if it came down to the point or to what extent one would suffer if one saw injustice but did not dare to stand up against it. Courage is such a simple word, easy to say but with a whole world behind it.
