Leena Kela

Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien, Berlin

Departure is a new performance in Leena Kela's performance series Airplane!, telling stories of flights full of turbulence. Departure examines the nomadic identity of an air hostess and the problems of localization from the perspective of constant flying. The comical catastrophes in the performance are based on the classic 80's comedy Airplane!, although they don't deny the reality of air traveling. How to protect oneself when the cabin fills up with smoke? How to act in the situation of an emergency landing? Where are the exits? Leena Kela is a performance artist who also works with performance art pedagogy, photography and video. In her work she wants to approach the other and the concept of otherness. How does a human being, an animal, nature or even self manifest itself as other?
