Zwischendeich / Brandenburg
As a fellow of the Bei Herrmann zwischen den Deichen Foundation, I created an installation using reused vinyl banners in the barn of the historic farm complex in Zwischendeich near Wittenberge. Cut into strips and hung in rows one behind the other between the beams of the 18th-century half-timbered building, the sections form a stage-like space that evokes the work of the director and set designer duo Karl-Ernst and Ursel Herrmann. The movement of the strips in the wind and the sounds they produce translate its invisible force and free rhythm into gentle swaying and wild dances of color and form. Opening the rear barn door offers viewers the entire stage of the village: through the forest of strips, the gaze glides over the vast meadows, past the pollarded willows to the Elbe dike, and up into the vast northern sky.
