Amongst the foreboding stacks of dead furniture, sorrowful architecture is reared, inert on plinths and home to cavorting animal forms. All about, psychedelic lights bathe the scenes of ritual happenings, as the air is filled with the sounds of scraping tools and scouring brushes. A hymn to arcane workings, towards the invocation of unclean forms, revealed by retreating waters.
EIN VERRUCKTER WEISER seeks to represents a selected timeline of the artist's work, acknowledging their water damaged forms, whilst affecting ongoing repairs as the show plays out. These sit alongside a new series of ‘stage sets’ wherein the artist is slavishly recreating scenes from the lost film: WENN DAS ALLES ENDET (1926). A movie reel, damaged beyond salvation in the country wide floods occurring in Germany, during the late June of ‘26.
Come and be part of the work and see these new pieces being made in a three week long performance of restoration, creation and theoretical sublimation.
