Phung-Tien Phan "The Podcast City"

"The Podcast City" follows a script which could also be a template for one of Phung-Tien Phan’s films, in which the artist explores contemporary lifestyles, the performativity of daily life and our different roles between labor and leisure time. As her own roles move fluidly between author of the script, artist, and actor, her practice is situated in a close network of relationships and the social and material conditions of her own creative labor, while addressing questions of creativity, social privileges, and neoliberal logics of consumption and self-marketing. Voices: Maximilian Schmötzer, Simon Mielke, Phung-Tien Phan Postproduction: Nadel Eins Studio Berlin Phung-Tien Phan (*1983, GER) lives and works in Essen.
