Angela Aux and Su Steinmassl read Annette Kolb’s German-French letters, her novels, essays and private correspondence in the Monacensia archive in Hildebrandhaus. This inspired them to imagine a futuristic vision on a feminist exoplanet in the year 2222.

In the year 2222, everything is as beautiful as ever on exoplanet YAY.X67. The artificial civilisation consists of exactly one million Femi and is approaching its centenary. With daily life consisting of perfect physical and mental action, fem living is like a cross between being a professional athlete and a professor of astrophysics. But when her daughter returns from a digital study retreat, Sylhe_32’s life changes abruptly. The teenager tells her about contact with an extraordinary avatar in Kosmos7, a section of the digitised past. The situation escalates when the mysterious being starts to appear regularly in her daughter’s meditations and offers advice for a rebellion against the perfect dictatorship.
