"unterschlupf"

/ by examining the grounds of a place, where there has been a wall, can i become this wall? can i melt into it‘s old frame? how would it feel to be this wall, carrying everything above?

/ can i empower a space by asking myself: where would this space want me to stay? here, in it‘s corner? or there, on the side?

/ what lies hidden in these little cracks on the wooden floor? can i reach deep enough through them to find the building’s history?

"de presidentes in de kelder" (with texts from "de presidentes", Werner Schwab)

/ how do some people fear 'the cellar', while it is a room of freedom and self expression to others?

/ does the place of living determine where people hide their secrets?

/ do right-wing extremist opinions only appeal to right-wing extremist people? or does everyone, my best friends, my grandma, even I myself need to examine and reflect my own potential of holding right-wing extremist opinions?
