HUMAN HERD

Paula Dischinger graduated in fashion design from the Institut Français de la Mode in Paris. Her focus is on concept developing and research of her surroundings and developing designs around the human body.  She is very interested in performance work as a huge communication platform directly to and with people.

‘HUMAN HERD’ can be described as a walking performance, in which no-one ever walks alone. The emphasis is on actively contributing to meeting each other, to come and move along with the flow. It's possible to follow, but there is always a choice and freedom to rest in the herd. Positions in the herd however are never the same, never ultimate. The person which is followed changes and therefore everything changes all the time. But there is hope to find a rhythm within the herd, because when everyone produces a sound, those sounds can start aligning and can spread throughout the whole room, the whole herd.
