one morning,
my breakfast cup went broken.
i was sad,
and started to wash the pieces in water,
suddenly the porcelain start to make sounds,
sounds of porcelain breathing.
i was then very happy.
As the light through the window turns slowly to autumn,
I collected some personal materials that remained from
the activities in spring to summer, and brought to Berlin.
Ash from the fireplace next to our tent,
Rain drops fall on a piece of Japanese paper,
Seeds collected from the garden at the end of summer…
In my mind, I was missing an image of a spider.
As a part of installation, she could carry on weaving the time.
After the installation was set at the window,
(thanks to time of the year) a spider from gelbe Musik appeared
and joined the work and carried on with the music.
