Encounters in Art and Medicine
Berlin University of the Arts

Prof. Dr. med. Mazda Adli & Paulina Schulz aka DJ Gigola

Psychiatrist and stress researcher Prof. Dr. med. Mazda Adli is the head physician of the Fliedner Klinik Berlin and heads the research area "Affective Disorders" at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Campus Charité Mitte. In his clinical and scientific work, Mazda Adli is dedicated to the development, therapy and prevention of affective disorders. He is chairman of the Interdisciplinary Forum Neurourbanistics e.V.

Paulina Schulz aka DJ Gigola is a music producer and medical doctor. Gigolo means Playboy, but the word originally derives from the ancient French "Gigole" which used to mean Dancing Woman. This makes Paulina Schulz aka DJ Gigola both, a dancing woman and a playboy. Where others see tension and contradiction, DJ Gigola sees a chance for creation. In her playful way of breaking down boundaries, she hits the Zeitgeist of a generation that continuously transforms and recontextualises seemingly fixed concepts and stereotypes. As a result, both her sets and productions are quint-essentially genre-fluid.
