Time has always fascinated me. What is time, really, how is it
lived and experienced? Was time felt differently in times past?
How do people feel the time in which they live? Are feelings,
fear, joy, subject to Zeitgeist or culture?
Did the Rixdorfers of old feel differently from us Neuköllners
today?

Memories of what I've read, observed and lived through myself
have inspired objects and installations in this exhibition. Even
what's flitted through my dreams: shadow animals!
Felt, fibres and found objects have been joined to form "soft
memories", fragments of the time which we have in common
with people from long ago.

Schattentier
Mein Kind, du kennst mich aus dem Traum,
mein Raum, durch den ich dich begleite.
Dort trage ich dich lautlos durch die Weite,
so licht und weich, du fühlst mein Knurren kaum.
Im Schattenreich bewahrt meine Gestalt
Erinnerung an rotgefärbte Klage.
Die Energie der Kräfte grauer Tage
wärmt mich und dich und schützt dich vor Gewalt.
