„Water leads the Way / Das Wasser weist den Weg“, workshop-trailer, 2024

Water, with all its different expressions of life, has become a guiding force in my artistc endavour. I attend to its movement and form and let my self be lead to co-create with it. I work on facilitating water-lead transformations in art and society.

Wasser wird ein wichtiges Leitelement in meinem künstlerischen Schaffen. Ich nehme seine Bewegung und Form wahr und lasse mich  führen mit ihm gemeinsam Neues zu gestalten. Ich arbeite daren, wassergeführte Transformationsprozesse im künstlerischen und gesellschaftlichen Schaffen, zu ermöglichen.

I work with water since 2009 when I lived in Sweden at the shore of the Baltic Sea for 5 years. Many studies of water and of the qualities of the sea lead me to start the project WeSea. WeSea amed to bring stakeholders around the sea together to witness and listen to the sea’s future. Later I invited water researchers, activists, water-strategists, farmers and artists for a conference in Germany with the title „Ecology of Consciousness“ and co-created the workshop-format „Das Wasser weist den Weg“ (Film above). All of this again lead me to co-found the Training for Regeneration of water, ecology and landscape-sensing. Throughout all of those years I have intensively worked to meet the Baltic and other waters through my attentional practices and my fotographic work. The works „Oaxen“ among others have been created in this quest.
