2500
Isabella Fürnkäs & Lukas von der Gracht
Performative Installation
Photographic pint on fabric
Snowspray on 11m photo-roll
approx. 20min
The performative installation 2500 shows a communication without spoken words. A textil photo is used as a bed sheet during the performance and includes a selection of 2500 images that Lukas & Isabella sent each other via iMessage over the time of 2 years. This „iBlanket“ unites most intimate content, work-in-progress steps, material discussions and travel plans: a visual communication transferred from digital to analogue.
Part of the exhibition ON THE CURRENTS OF THE CITY
New positions on the relationship between art, urbanism and the public.

Sometimes it is
loss
that we lose,
and sometimes
it is just lips. When I was
a child,
I would ask my mother
to tuck me in,
wrap me tight in blankets,
make me into a burrito.
Sometimes I would wait in bed,
pressing my body stiff
like a board
mind like a feather, silly — setting the scene
so I could be seen.
So I could be wrapped.
So I could be kissed.
And what
I miss most,
is being made
again.
