TELEGRAFENBERG – part 1 (2022)
Sheets of paper wrap around an abandoned office, as the artist works to reveal a hidden photograph. Bits of paper fall to the ground, covering the carpet of the office floor. As visitors move through the space, they are invited to participate in the labor of releasing image from paper. With a mist of water and the touch of fingers, by the end of the weekend, only the image will remain.
Telegrafenberg is a site-specific installation created for Localize Potsdam in 2022, based on the original telegraph network of the German Confederation, spearheaded by Siemens & Halske around the time of the March Revolution. Working together on this piece, we may explore the possibilities and imperfections of human communication: of body language, of paper and print, and of the virtual and proto-virtual. We may question the ways networks support community and the ways they establish control.
Telegrafenberg was presented with String Theory at Localize Potsdam on July 15-17, 2022.
Its second life, Telegrafenberg – part 2, was installed at the exhibition "RE-" at SomoS Berlin on October 25-29, 2022.
