Stefanie Salzmann: TRAUMSAMMLERINNEN

Thalkirch, Bawald – GPS: 46.647260, 9.274630 – from Thalkirch, old Post approx. 25 Min.

Three sculptures reminiscent of harvest containers and nests, made of felted and naturally dyed wool, are attached to fir trees in the Bawald forest. Metaphorically, they are intended to collect stories about possible futures as dreams. The material connects different animals, spaces, plants and people with each other, encouraging reflection on these relationships and their future from. The tweed pattern is a tribute to the Tenna Tweed company, which produces hand-woven fabrics from the wool of sheep from the nearby Zalön farm. (JI)
