Installation view, 2025, Galerie Met, Berlin
“Sometimes it feels like whatever I touch dies, I feed is poisened and the water I pour makes everything wither, I am a human; that’s my flaw. The fields behind me are empty. The drought, it remains.”
Fieldnotes
The work observes fragility and discrepancy of our inner and outer self. We all have memory boards and from time to time, things cut deep into them as we wander through our fields. It leads us through unclear memories, fear, sickness, sensitivity and insecurity. Every matter around us can be a mirror of own and human traumas. Fields of memories, fulness, emptiness, fertility, drought. Fields of love, losses, battlefields … The installation speaks to all senses with sound, objects, materials and even scent. The exhibitions concept was to create three rooms that capture the systematic origins of trauma, fear, and the process of entering it after and after during aging and reflections. All works represented metaphorical notes on our personal memory boards. The more inner you went through the space the more you entered the true meaning. Most of the fears, memories and traumas where connected to the visible appearance of material, nature, and animals and used as symbols and direct reference to us humans. Installation view of the corridor before the last room of the exhibition. Visitors had to climb the letter to reach the last nailed up door to the last room. A last hay sack as metaphor for the trauma, that is self-feeding, but at the same time not enough to let live, no water, emaciated horses … The atmosphere was enhanced by sound and scent in collaboration with Mira Lu Kovacs, singer and language artist and a room scent, created with Berlin niche house RAER Scents under Ted Rohn.
“I only wanted to fly with the birds once before November comes, but instead they all died. Caged birds see flying as a disease. The hay is too dry to get us all through the winter.”
