being(s) : More-Than-Human Drama
Introduction to the symposium re-story-ation: Artistic Research and More-Than-Human Relationalities on May 7, 2026 at HFBK Hamburg and the research project 'More-Than-Human Drama' as part of the being(s) graduate school at HFBK by Helene Kummer, PhD Candidate Art in Practice at HFBK hamburg and Sara Hillnhütter, Officer for Artistic Practice at HFBK Hamburg.
In her artistic research, Helene Kummer examines the dramaturgical, linguistic, and aesthetic articulations of so-called "animals" in storytelling - particularly in animation -and how these representations shape human-animal relationships. Scratch marks from raccoons on the wooden structures of Japanese temples hold a multitude of stories and relationships. They are the traces of a popular animation production from the 1970s that influenced ways of seeing and treating these animals, which are considered invasive. Together with Terue Yamauchi, the two artists collect documents, stories, and relationships connected to these contexts and are developing a feature film.
