I am showing my new work "Susurri southwest". It was created during a working stay in Los Angeles from March to April 2024 and addresses our questionable treatment of nature as a result of our way of life. I captured the resulting ecological catastrophes in images that subtly point to the irretrievability of intact nature in the midst of these impressively beautiful landscapes. Each of these landscapes has lost the innocence with which it once offered us sustenance.
Susurris embedded in these landscapes offer to listen to the landcapes

concept:
We are overriding something of which we are a part - nature. To stretch its laws, we need machines - built - with materials - from resources. In constant supply or delivery of these, our supply is most strictly dependent on connections. Pipes aptly symbolise this reality.
And in a wonderfully captivating way, the Susurris absorb the resonances of the space around them and by listening to their openings they primarily offer a connection to themselves.

Maurinmühle - a place like many others. Places where our shared history weighs so heavily that it is better not to exist. In such places, you are alone with yourself, surrounded by nature and moved by premonitions. To remember on site means first of all to feel.

Susurri invites you to listen to these feelings.

The wind is caught in the open pipe, vibrates in it and something audible is created in this small space. With silence, concentration and time, everyone can perceive something. Does the wind sound like singing, complaining, crying, shouting? What do you hear? Hearing is a sense. Listening properly makes sense. The Susurri object is an invitation to take time to listen attentively.

The ORTSZEIT exhibition series is an artistic form of remembrance culture. The artists always work on new themes and develop answers to questions about our repressed history, which visitors can explore.

The city of Wismar also provided the Kunstverein Wismar e.V. with an exhibition period in 2024 in the Nordkapelle in St. Marien at its disposal. The Kunstverein has invited the ORTSZEIT exhibition series. Exhibiting artists: Janet Zeugner, Gudrun Brigitta Nöh, Annette Czerny, Rico, Ramona Seyfarth, Renate U. Schürmeyer, Udo Rathke, Susanne Gabler
