In altre parole
2026

In the summer of 2026 I was invited to conceive an experimental 6-days-workshop (Aktionsraum) as part of the 2026 programm of Der Fahrende Raum in Munich/Milbertshofen. My proposal was to collectively imagine a new (secret) language, completely created by the workshop participants and workers of DFR. The outcome was a constellation of substantives, verbs, alphabets, new sounds and only one grammatical rule. During the workshop both children and adults took part in a playful but serious way. On the last day of the workshop we shared poems we had written in our new language, baptized andoisch by a participant. The poems were collected in a small publication.

The Geheimsprache-Pavillon (secret-languege-Pavillion), with proposals from the participants for new alphabets and sounds.
