Sarah Elena Müller
Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
2024
Sarah Elena Müller works with multimedia in literature, music, virtual reality, radio plays and performance. She is interested in all forms of text and language, technological and social developments, as well as danceable music.
Her Spoken Pop Band „Cruise Ship Misery“ released two albums (Urteil & Brutto Inland Netto Super Clean) and performs danceable Misery in Swiss-german live since 2016. Since 2019, she has been leading the VR-Performance ‘Meine Sprache und ich’ - an approach to Ilse Aichinger's language criticism. In 2023, her debut novel ‘Bild ohne Mädchen’ (Picture without girl) was published by Limmat Verlag. It treats repressing mechanisms around child abuse and was nominated for the swiss book prize and awarded with several other prizes.
She likes to write at night and leaves the lead to language.
