Fences as if grown naturally.
TALL TALL TALL. WIDE. LONG. LONG. LONG. CONTINUOUS. WITH ONE GATE. WITH SPIKES.
Most fences tell us very brutally and harsh, with elbows and a clenched fist. Stop!
THIS IS WHERE MINE BEGINS. HERE IS MINE NOW. KNOCK OR RING THE BELL.
I DON’T HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOU. YOU CAN WAIT FOR A LONG TIME.
A FENCE LOCKS YOU IN. A FENCE LOCKS YOU OUT. A FENCE IS FEAR.
Ants climbed up on me. The sun was shining.
THE FENCE KEEPS ME OUT. UNTIL THERE IS A HOLE TO SLIP THROUGH. AND THEN
THE HOLE WILL GROW BIGGER AND BIGGER. BECAUSE SO MANY WANT TO GET THROUGH. THERE’S A DEMAND
SO TO SPEAK. FOR A HOLE IN THE FENCE. AND THEN MORE HOLES ALONG THE LONG
LONG FENCE AND SLOWLY THE FENCE DISAPPEARS. SLOWLY BUT SURELY. AND
THEN WE ONLY SEE IMPRINTS IN THE GRASS WHERE THERE USED TO BE A FENCE.

The exhibited works were created in April 2025 during a two-week artists-in-residence program at the Kulturbrennerei Ganzlin, a former distillery in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The residency was initiated by Maria Felsmann and Mandarino Öge. It was aimed at young people who are studying art or are interested in art. Sigrun Drapatz accompanied and curated the project.
