THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TELEPHONE BOOTH

“The starting point of the project is an autobiographical story. Just before we, my mother, my sister and I, wanted to go on vacation, my mom disappeared in a phone booth to call her lover. When she returned to us, she had suddenly become a different person. At that moment my mother had her very first schizophrenic crisis. I was only ten years old. Since then I‘ve been constantly tormented by the question of what exactly happened in the cabin. I couldn‘t explain it to myself. I‘ve never found out. However, I think that‘s why I‘ve become an artist! I‘ve become a dancer because at that moment I realized that the essential things, that change life, can‘t be narrated and explained with words.” (Leonie Wahl)
