2024 Relicts

W/ Friederike and Štěpánka


[IT] “Dentro di me vivono la mia identica vita dei microrganismi che non sanno di appartenere al mio corpo. Io a quale corpo appartengo?”
[ENG] “Inside me live my identical life some microorganisms that do not know that they belong to my body. Which body do I belong to?”
A quote by Franco Battiato in “beta”.

Human traces in form of trash can be found in all human surroundings. They can give details about the place and time and tell stories about the human relation they once had. When picked up and analyzed, they become a relict of our human living. While walking we developed a sincere interest in these relicts. Through collecting, analyzing and documenting them, their existence, form, structure and relation to each other became the focus of our project. They also turned into an intuitive instrument for creativi- ty by using them as tools to paint and draw or as tools to build compositions. They developed into a creative outlet, a creative treasure. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.“ Through the process of exploring sites and the analysis of the human relicts we recognized a similarity to archeaoli- gst‘s work. This recognition then developed into the core part of our format and style in the projects output.
