Over the course of twenty years of artistic practice, Mats Staub has developed his very own working methods and created formats that are located between theatre and visual arts, journalism and literature. The Attentive Stranger places these projects, which have developed over a long period of time and on different continents, in relation to each other and to the social, historical and psychological contexts they touch on outside of the arts: With seven in-depth conversations made for this book, an essay on the practice of biographising, with questions, lists, images and stories from twelve long-term projects. Like Mats Staub's work, this book invites the audience to themselves perform the movements of biographical recollection and narration. What do I know about my grandparents’ lives? What deaths and births have shaped my life? Who did I use to be and am no longer? What do I want to become still?
