uncontrolled pedestrians are two sisters, who meet at the crossroads between theatre, visual arts, performance, installation, action, politics, society and more. They like to have other artists crossing their zebra stripe, to take a walk with them for a while. Moving is at the heart of the matter. No traffic lights needed.
The artists collective has been founded in 2012. It is based upon the cooperative between Hanna Rohn as a dramaturg, performer, performance-maker and Julia Rohn as photographer, visual artist, anthropologist.
The philosophy of uncontrolled pedestrians is rooted in the metaphor of freely moving pedestrians, which are the only road users which are able to meander through the urban structures and rural landscapes. They are able to follow their instinct, stop whenever they feel to and steep deeper wherever opportunities arise. They don't have to follow predetermined and given routes, as they can cross the lines in their own ways to create new perspectives.
uncontrolled pedestrians are therefore working with diverse art forms and material, they like to experiment, fantasise and challenge the distinction between art and daily life – with politically or socially relevant and research informed thinking at the core of their practice.
