The collective
In the formation the guinea pig collective three artists from different fields come together: Dietmar Suoch – creative engineer, Christine Hinterkörner - singer/composer and Iris Heitzinger – dancer/performance artist.
They are brought together by the interest to create a discourse, which deepens the understanding of each
artist’s own craft as well as one, which offers an intense preoccupation and involvement with the craft of the
others, therefore, creating an interdisciplinary language.
