Jan Pfeiffer “SUPPORT POINTS”
"Support Points" focuses on the afterlife of signs and symbols (and their systems) that artificially sustain fallen ideas.

“SHOAL” is a series of group, camera-facing choreographic actions whose point of reference is formed by non-hierarchical social constructs – largely disregarded by humans yet functioning successfully in non-human nature.
