Run
observations at the rivers Dumme and Jeetze
Two ateries of water, the river Dumme and the river Jeetze, surround, flow through and revive Salzwedel. During my art residence at Künstler- und Stipendiatenhaus des Altmarkkreises Salzwedel in 2019, I investigated the two rivers in their changing liveliness at different sections from the sources to the mouth of the river Elbe within a quarter of a year. Inspired by historical maps, I also followed the original meandering river course of the now mostly straightened riverbeds.
Flow characteristics, velocities, surface structure, sounds, as well as movement patterns of living beings were captured on-site in cyanotypes, see Tylsen Dumme Park, further reflections in photogram- and wire reliefs followed. Works from 2019 – 2021
