Patch Work Internet

For one year Lena Müller collected the smallest pieces of the internet: comments under videos, captions under holiday photos, and the search queries people start typing and then abandon. Thousands of fragments, most of them unfinished.

In Internet Patchworking she stitches them together live. The fragments appear on the wall one by one, and she reads them aloud as they arrive, building a single spoken quilt out of other people's half-sentences. What emerges is funny and unexpectedly tender: a portrait of everyone, typing alone at night, asking the same few questions.

No two performances use the same material.
