Stevie Bothor…
…comes from acting and now work as an artistic field researcher. Stevie operates with props (objects), space, embodiment and fellow players (people). Stevie documents this with the tools of photography, text, drawing and installations that Stevie calls Zeiträume. Stevie lives in Berlin.
Currently Stevie is preparing to enter the state of 'Elsewhere' for 648 days starting 22nd of September 2025, in order to distill an aesthetic of alternative aging of female socialised individuals (called remontantFury, a term coined by Stevie)- from 101 in-depth interviews- and to create a garden based on this very aesthetic."
