on the last day before the exhibition in sibiu /brukenthal museum, of twelve people from different countries who became friends within four weeks (two in esch/luxembourg, two in sibiu) of group work, conception, perception, discussion about land or buying land, or not buying land, drawing, writing, eating, sleeping, excitement, desparation, celebration, creation, party, travelling...we found a cat under a car with a broken leg. we got a passport for it.
stina took it home to luxembourg. she called it michail pop. it was save now.

elffriede-biberbau IV. / consists of two parts in opposed corners of the room:
"show / shadow": walldrawings + drawing-book refering to real-time-studies-documentation of the four-weeks-workshop in esch/luxemburg - sibiu/bukarest/cluj-rumania. stories about show and shadow, about what can be seen and what is hided, or missed. about being brave or shy. about shifting in modes synonymous with drawing / registrer / note / notate / view...
the show-shadow-theme elffriede derived from a book from 1902, found on a flew-market in luxembourg, of which one picture is quotated by "playing figures" with shadow and transformed into the context of drawing.
"land-art" (scientific collection/installation): in sibiu collected patina/pure and lost colour from houses + miniatur-drawing-book (quotation of a book made as satire refering to the rights of rumania which are that small that they would fit into a small book of rights) + collected words. the needles are bought in sibiu. but they where made in china.
.....in progress...
we concepted, constructed and printed a newspaper (elffriede-part: "show/shadow"): pdf
