3 textiles on flag poles, 3-channel sound installation
Taking Place
Annual Exhibition
HfBK Dresden
July 2023
I contaminated three textiles with dirt from the hidden and inaccessible basement under the garden, which used to serve as a coal storage. The flags/curtains reacted to the surroundings (trees, windows, fence) through various forms. The sound coming from the meadow focused on the bodily aspect associated with coal, such as physical labour, loss of health, danger to life.
The work was created in the hope that the rain and wind will one day bring the textiles back to their original purity.
