Installation
Erinnerungskörper in blau is a multi-sensory spatial installation that deals with the inscription of tender touch into the somatic memory. Long, dark blue textile tubes made of velour terry cloth hang from a spiral-shaped metal structure made of round steel down to the floor.
A blue plastic stool, a familiar everyday object used in bathrooms, stands at its center. Visitors are invited to take a seat and listen to a ten-minute sound recording in a loop via headphones: the sonorous noise of a hairdryer and the rhythmic stroking of a brush.
Erinnerungskörper in blau moves between slightly overlooked everyday intimacy and the awareness of transience. The expansive installation places little-noticed moments of care at its center and poses questions about closeness without real contact. The work creates a space for memories stored in the body and negotiates how we can remember touch.
