This site-specific work was created during residencies by the Viennese artists Marieluise Lenglachner and Tereza Stehlíková at ssesi.space as the result of material research into the local environment. The artists collected rocks directly from the slopes and surrounding areas of the Svratka River and subsequently crushed and processed them into natural pigments. They used these pigments to dye canvases and hanging textiles, which they complemented with organic objects made of papier-mâché and sheep’s wool.
The agglomeration of materials within the work connects the geological, plant, and animal layers of the landscape, transforming them into soft, temporary surfaces and objects. The installation was placed directly next to a rock formation at the Hydrotherapy festival site, from which some of the material used to create it originated. The work will now be presented as part of an exhibition at ssesi.space in dialogue with the exhibition Caitlin Hazel: On Flowers, Scents, and the Saint Without a Nose.
