It has been a while since my last post on this fieldwork blog. Since then, I have been able to further develop various projects during residencies.
In 2021, I was an artist in residence in Planèzes, southern France, in exchange with my French colleague Muriel Valat B, and then together in Berlin in 2022. We were able to show the results of our residencies in Montpellier and Perpignan in 2023, and in Berlin in 2024.
In 2021, I was able to continue my research in Iceland on my project “drift” at the newly erupted Fagradalsfjall volcano on Reykjanes Peninsula. I had already worked in this region in 2018 with traces of volcanic events dating back approximately 800 years.
In 2023, I was able to compile the results of this and other projects on earth movements that I have been working on over the past 15 years in my publication PLANET A (published by textem, Hamburg, with a text by Prof. Dr Hanne Loreck).
At the end of 2023, I was invited to work as an artist in residence with the archive of the Instituto de Arte Contemporânea (IAC) in São Paulo, Brazil, and to show my sketches in a site-specific final presentation in the IAC building.
In 2021, I began incorporating the movements of the Baltic Sea and my own body into my work using photographic motion sequences, which I then overlaid with drawings on paper and as wall pieces. These sequences are created during short working stays on the Danish and German Baltic Sea coast, including in Rerik and on Poel. My spatial drawing “small dance”, which was created at the end of 2023 in Claudia Busching’s project space Mehrzweckhalle in Berlin as part of her exhibition series “Zeichenraum”, will be shown again in 2026 in a group exhibition of all 10 positions in this exhibition series at the Kunstmuseum Villa Zander in Bergisch Gladbach.
