Tòsu / Mahlknecht Prinoth

HACK ME BABY is a large formate Film Installation in the Kampnagel Foyer (also accessible via the online program) created by the artistic duo Tòsu together with young experts from Hamburg. For a year now school classrooms have been a risk zone and for just as long students have been performing invisibility as a real life test. How do they experience the ambivalence of isolation in digital spaces in the pre and post pandemic times? The team surrounding the filmmaker Martin Prinoth and the artist and stage designer Martina Mahlknecht playfully explore how to undermine attention economy of social networks, what solidarity can look like beyond hashtags, retweets and excessive self-representation and why these technologies are so captivating. Based on interviews and documenting research a cinematic and theatrical translation emerges in between documentary approach and performed aggravation together with the young people.
