Hamburg, Germany
Located at the Castle Hülshoff, a sight specific installation based on the life and poetry of one of Münster’s most famous poets, Anette von Droste-Hülshoff. Her poem, the elements explores themes of nature and our relationship to it.
The nature contaminates the space, with it’s reflections scattered around the transformed bathroom. Responding to Anette von Droste-Hülshoff’s poem The Elements (Die Elemente), mirrors reflect nature, bringing it inside and transforming the pixels in the bathroom.
All 4 elements are represented in the corners of the space. Reflected and scattered
around the space creating a forged nearness with nature. The ‘borrowed nature’ beaming in through the windows is juxtaposed with the visitors and the sample nature’s image inside, making the room possessed by nature.
