Speaking Corners
Lizzy Ellbrück

A series of (prose) miniatures, that explore the semantics of margins and the tensions within peripheral phenomena—spatial, material, or metaphorical—and their agency as characters for wording.

Props Promising Prompts
Lizzy Ellbrück & Louise Raspé

Props Promising Prompts is a piece built in fragments: obstacles, niche wanderers, props, fillers, flourishes, and wandering eyes. Figures appear as embedded characters in a spatial narrative, thinking in ciphers, speaking in curlicues, writing in parentheses. They are not theatrical in that sense, yet they emerge at the edge of a drama — within footnotes, in the traces of scenes and marginalia.

About the authors

Lizzy Ellbrück and Louisa Raspé are artists, authors, designers, dramaturges, scenographers, accomplices and friends. They work artistically and speculatively, preferably in dialogue. Their studies and shared interests have fostered a rich and evolving complicity — an intensity they seek to deepen in Conceptual Conversations, meandering through new stories that unfold in several directions at once.
