thoughts meet space is a thought-, material- and space-laboratory by claudia bosse which is experimenting with different medial and social relations through images, sounds, projections, objects, writings, thoughts, maps; a combination of alienated objects trouvés, performative assemblage, spatialized associations and an installative space that demands personal acquirement.
a multimedial space of thought, that conducts different approaches of the present and enfolds them in different material in the space: transferred fragments of our medial reality are interlaced and overlayed in different media, gathering partly on images and creating fictional miniatures of possible relations.

since 2011 interviews were made in new york, cairo, alexandria, tunis, jerusalem, tel aviv, zagreb, frankfurt, bruxelles, etc: recorded thoughts from different (geo)political spaces about revolutions, freedom, the spectre of democracy and the ethics of acting. in the approach of this material these thoughts of many are confronted with/opposed by the personal thoughts of claudia bosse. in reviewing and playing with the recent history, media images become oracles of the present...
