On alienation and provocation: food for thought at the edge of the familiar - impulse and discussion with Stefanie Rieger, Johanna Kosch and Dr. Jirko Krauß
Whether it's a horror thriller or a state of intoxication, extreme sport or body mod, performance art or excess: anything that is out of the ordinary is alienating. But at the same time, this provocation stimulates us and we passionately expose ourselves to it again and again. At the edge of the familiar, our thoughts and feelings are put to the test: When is enough of the strange enough and how do we deal with it? How alien are we to ourselves? When does the strange leave us changed? When is it just a sensation that affects us in the short term? And when is living with the strange a life change? Together we philosophize about crossing boundaries, self-transformation and 'mere' sensationalism.
