"KNOTEN PFLANZEN"2005

Installation "Knoten Pflanzen im Garten"(planting knots in garden)was a part of a Exhibition together with Tatjana Sarah Greiner in exhibition-space Hinterconti, in Hamburg.Knoten Pflanzen is a work about special place in Hamburg: The prison next to the big garden called Planten & Blumen. There is a place where the friends and relatives can reach the prisoners by shouting from the Garden to the windows of prison. Specially summer evenings there might be many people discussing with someone in prison. It is a strange mixture of simultaneous sounds.These dialogues in many different languages with male and female voices are often quite privat, but in this place they are coming public like the singing of the birds and sound of the fountain. These dialogues which are normally wispered must be shouted very loud. In my work I wanted to transport this atmosphere but changing the situation more interactive for outsider. Installation elements: artificial grass-carpet, spot-light, plastic-curtains, wooden swing, flower arrangement, sound(recorded dialogues by the prison-wall)
