We are happy to announce Mahsa Saloor as our next resident artist this year.
Mahsa Saloor is a Berlin based artist and works between painting, performance, poetry, and film. Their practice explores themes of nature, desire, relationality, and spirituality. Mahsa’s poetry explores the relationship between eros, metaphysics, the sacred, and sensuality. Their performances are often based on their writing practice.
At Flutgraben Performances Residencies, Mahsa plans to collaborate with performers for their upcoming project, Angels Too Require Care. The work centers around an androgynous lesbian vampire painter who, while navigating chronic pain, becomes obsessed with an angel that travels between earthly and celestial realms. Using visual and narrative elements, the movement practice will incorporate notions of longing and loss, through touch and sensuality. The project explores themes of corporeal sensuality, care, queer desire, belonging, and intimacy.
We wish Mahsa an inspiring and generative time during their residency!
