MKH Biennale Halberstadt, abandoned public Bathhouse, Fountain and the Stretch in-between.
2014, Germany
The townscape, a blend of soviet and medieval structures is characterized by abandoned spaces due to changed demographics of recent years. The mixture of surplus industrial products borrowed on site and hand fitted modules connects mobile and pliable. The carefully transported water becomes material and the trigger for a gentle and volatile sound. It´s about empty spaces, needfull fallow periods, mobile thoughts, patience, democracy, about “taking action” in the right moment. The asked questions appeal to recourses: The needs and necessities of space, beyond regional thinking and simultaneity. How much matter and material does one need?
