BIOGRAPHIES
---------------------------------------------
Romana Schmalisch studied fine arts at the Berlin University of the Arts. She was an artist-in-residence at many institutions including the Jan Van Eyck Academy in Maastricht, Studio Voltaire in London and Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers. Robert Schlicht studied philosophy at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

Together, they work at the interface of art, film and theory to grapple with how historical processes and societal structures can be reproduced in film. The themes of labour in capitalist societies are a focal point in their exhibitions, performance series and films. Their works include the screen-ing and performance series The Choreography of Labour at Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers (2013–2014), the play All the best from Labour Power Plant at La Commune – Centre dramatique national, Aubervilliers (2017), as well as the exhibitions Titre de travail at FRAC Grand Large–Hauts-de-France, Dunkerque (2018) and Humanity at Work at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (2018 /2019). They realised the short film Top / Down in 2017. Labour Power Plant is their first feature film.
