Rundgang, Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin 2023

I picked up a stone made of sand in Bahia.
A core.
A foundation.
I like the idea of accelerating the movement of stones from one place to another. Putting a body in a new context.
The stone sheds grains of sand all the time.
I thought the stone would disappear during the journey
But it landed here and will live in a new environment from now on. The structure seems strong and delicate at the same time.
Maybe the Bahia sandstone will crumble and disappear somewhere in Berlin at some point. Its composition is slowly changing.
It’s no longer the same stone, although the difference can’t be seen with the naked eye.
Space, air, temperature, the sounds of Germany will mix with Bahia’s myths and axés.
The stone carries the “then” and the “now” in itself. Past and present, and the mystery of the new in itself.
