In 1993 they founded together the group )+(=a0 with the aim to establish a platform for interdisciplinary forms of art.
_ Approach to Work )+(=a0 is a symbol for "art as an inner process which is in touch with life" and defines itself as "human art", which conveys inner spiritual values. Within the shared context of the stage both artists strive to establish the equality of all the elements which play part, in order to bring different forms of art together by means of a close and deep dialogue without losing the feeling for the differentiation of their peculiarities and their independence. In their work they concentrate upon the diversity and complexity of many-faceted and natural processes.
_ Current Production In "farewell to ancient evenings#" levels are being formed (level + level = story) and each one is reinforced in its presence and independence. Due to the shifting of the context and the adding up of levels a metamorphic form of reflecting depth is created, out of which an extremely fine "dynamics of the quiet" comes forth.	_ Future Projects 2001:"... as lonely as Domdaniel" - performance and installation, produced by the Berlin Soziale Künstlerförderung in cooperation with Ballhaus Naunynstrasse (premiere: March 2001) and Kunsthaus Tacheles (May 2001: for 2 weeks exhibition and performances).
