F90.0 - Tessa Trautmann From January 17-19, 2025, the multimedia installation "F90.0" transforms the Kulturbäckerei Mainz into an immersive exploration of ADHD consciousness. Through a dynamic interplay of videos, animations, and kinetic elements, the work creates an environment that mirrors the constant state of mental activity and sensory processing characteristic of ADHD. At its core, the installation employs latex as a compelling metaphor for human vulnerability amidst overwhelming stimuli, creating a stark contrast to the digital and mechanical elements that symbolize various facets of the condition. "F90.0" - named after the medical classification code for ADHD - invites viewers to step into a world where traditional boundaries of perception blur. By experiencing this carefully orchestrated chaos, audiences gain insight into the daily reality of individuals with ADHD. The work challenges conventional understanding of neurodiversity, advocating for a society that not only accepts but celebrates the richness of different ways of experiencing and processing the world.
