VANITAS MACHINE at the Max Planck Institute
for Biology of Ageing Cologne

The installation Vanitas Machine can be seen at the opening of the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne on Friday, 18 october 2013

Deciphering the mystery of ageing
Why do organisms age? How can we influence our life span? The overall goal of our research is to uncover the basic causes and processes of ageing. Also, we strive to understand the nature of longevity and age-related diseases. In this sense we aim for fundamental discoveries into the underlying molecular, physiological and evolutionary mechanisms. At the same time we investigate how the ageing process might be ameliorated, since it is our long-term goal to pave the way towards increasing health during ageing in humans.

VANITAS MACHINE at PACT Zollverein, Essen, Germany

Since 2002 PACT Zollverein has, in the framework of the ATELIER series, offered emerging and established choreographers, dancers, performers, fine artists and musicians from NRW, Germany and abroad a chance to present their work to the general public during a shared evening length programme. Each ATELIER edition gives rise to a hybrid programme featuring performance, art exhibits, music, dance, film, readings, photography, theatre, lectures and video art. Held throughout the building, the next edition will be on the 6th of December. Both completed works as well as projects under development are welcomed from artists working in all disciplines.
