With "Still Lives", every city gets its very own portrait: on the streets of the respective cities, passers-by were asked for their thoughts and comments on a photograph by Jeff Wall depicting an urban scene. Their responses are the soundtrack of the "Still Lives" stage project and reveal much about social backgrounds, personal perspectives and city life. Versions of "Still Lives" have been created for Bucharest, Halle, Lille, Essen, Berlin, Hanover and Antwerp. The recorded commentaries are juxtaposed with scenic and choreographic elements performed by the group and amateur participants from the city in question, combining to create an impressive, thought-provoking multimedia performance on the subject of reality and fiction, illusion and manipulation.

"Still Lives" is a part of the Good Work Productions project, an artists‘ network which was initiated by Isabelle Schad, Bruno Pocheron and Ben Anderson in 2003. Good Work examines the representation, presentation and perception of the body on stage as well as its status and visibility in society, and aims to circulate ideas, knowledge, information, body practices and choreographic styles by means of a horizontal work structure.
