Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz have been working together in Berlin since 2007. They produce installations that choreograph the tension between visibility and opacity. Their films capture performances in front of the camera, upsetting normative narratives and conventions of spectatorship. Figures and actions are staged, layered and re-imagined, often across time. Their performers are choreographers, artists and musicians, with whom they are having a long-term conversation about the conditions of performance, the violent history of visibility, the pathologization of bodies, but also about companionship, glamour and resistance.

Previous works include, Telepathic Improvisation with performance by Marwa Arsanios, MPA, Ginger Brooks Takahashi and Werner Hirsch, which premiered in 2017 at Participant, New York. Silent with performance by Aérea Negrot, premiered at the Biennale of Moving Image in Geneva in November 2016. In 2015 I Want with performance by Sharon Hayes, was shown in their solo show at Kunsthalle Zürich and Nottingham Contemporary. Recent solo exhibitions have included Ongoing Experiments with Strangeness at the Julia Stoschek Collection, Berlin, Telepathic Improvisation at the Centre Culturel Suisse Paris (2018) and CAMH Houston (2017), Portrait of an Eye at Kunsthalle Zürich (2015) and Loving, Repeating at Kunsthalle Wien (2015).
