Acting Things

Origin Stories looks at how designers use media, making and production processes in unusual ways to help formulate alternative forms of design practice.

Judith Seng is researching how to expand design practice through a performative approach to the production of work. Her output is staged both in applied daily life as well as international exhibition and academic contexts. Following a period of research she initiated the ongoing experimental production series ACTING THINGS in which process design is explored with elements and methods from the performative arts. Her work has been shown amongst others at Hebbel Theatre HAU Berlin, design miami/basel, Kunstgewerbemuseum Dresden, Kyoto Art Center Japan, Pera Museum Instanbul/ 4. Istanbul Design Biennale, LUMA Arles, Z33-House of Contemporary Arts, Kunstverein Kassel, Design Museum Gent, Talinn Art Hall). Her studio is based in Berlin and she is professor at HDK Valand Gothenburg, Sweden.
