In my grandma’s apartment I staged myself in different roles, filmed the process and put footage together to create video collages. For the stagings I used personal items, clothes and furniture that I found in the flat. The focus of the videos is the examination of the development of early childhood sexuality, fears and possible traumas associated with it and how external power structures can influence this process. The petit-bourgeois ambience of grandmother’s apartment serves me thereby as a stage.
