Mahn, Jule Claudia: Schimmer / Shimmer Dozens of metal springs, a delicate porcelain cup handle, a strangely shaped piece of corrugated iron and an almost intact glass flacon - so far the latest finds. The hole in the garden has meanwhile been dug so deep that the children inside can barely see over the edge. A discussion ensues about where the things came from and why they found their way into the earth here. Detached from their original purpose, found objects are free for associations and stories about time. At the end, each child drops a personal object into the hole before they fill it up again. This narrative accompanies the viewer into a rush of images of light and reflections, desolations and growths in sometimes abandoned places, some just in use. The photographs were taken over the last ten years on journeys to places of my origin. Searching for home, you might think, but I begin to rearrange the images. Something is added, something is taken away, similar to a place that - left to itself and reclaimed by nature - is in a constant state of change.
I imagine how, in the distant future, someone finds something among undergrowth and begins to ponder what use this object might once have had for civilization. german and english version, engl., photography, pigment print, Flexible binding with open stitching in a folder, 48p, 11.8 x 7.1 inch, Ed. of 13, num., sign., Leipzig, 2018, Verwandte Objekte Request of availability backnext
