An assemblage of 15 puppets, a flexible landscape of banners as well various sound modules form part of the new ‘Emblematic sculpture’ Formula:Congorama, which was created during Suse Weber’s stay in Belgium between 2008-2011. In an opera-like format, she formulates a counter-model to more old-fashioned social panoramas, by means such as miniaturizing the audience.
After it was first performed in the Troublyen Laboratorium in Antwerp in 2009, three further shows followed in Antwerp and Brussels. For its fifth performance, Suse Weber has now rearranged an image-and sound-composition specifically for the gallery space.
It is a further realization of her ‘Emblematic Sculptural’ concept. The Emblematic Sculpture – an assertion, with which the notion of sculpture is newly translated into an adjustable sign- and behavioral system.
In 2006 Suse Weber created the first German-Turkish opera at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin. Since 2008 she has been developing, through performances and exhibitions, the following complex of works: Formula:Societies, Formula:Congorama and Formula:Marionett. Amongst others she has performed or shown at the Martha Herford Museum (2009), the WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels (2009), the Kunsthalle Lingen (2011), as well as in the group show Made in Germany at the Sprengel Museum, Hanover (2012) and in the jubilee exhibition, Ihre Geschichte(n) at the Bonner Kunstverein (2013).
