Info

Project

Tabea Rothfuchs successfully completed her Master's degree in Transdisciplinary studies in summer 2020. She revised the concept for her Master Series Residency on chronic pain at the Centre for Pain Medicine Nottwil (Swiss Paraplegic Centre) within a very short time after the outbreak of the corona pandemic.

In addition to detailed, virtual interviews, she also conducted a performative quarantine interview session in front of the Swiss Paraplegic Centre. Over the course of four hours, she was sitting in an aerial scenographic object and, using a conference software, held talks with medical staff from the Centre for Pain Medicine and with pain patients who had virtually connected up from different parts of the world.

The master thesis also includes a publication with interview transcripts as well as texts that reflect on the topic of chronic pain and Tabea Rothfuchs' artistic process in the course of the corona crisis.
