Jugendzimmer

Carpet 240x160 cm (felted wool, traces of paint) & cushion objects (ink, chalk and charcoal on fabric), 2026

Shown as part of the art hiking festival Mühlacker (DE), a collaboration between Cheapart and APART (GR), Kunst im Keller (AT), the Künstlergruppe Mühlacker and the Volkswanderverein Senderstadt Mühlacker, March 2026 

The performative installation “Jugendzimmer” explores the liminal space found in everyday life, such as the process of growing up within family life. Traces—both left behind and passed over—are visible on the surface of the carpet and the cushion-like objects. Remnants of paint bear witness to the artist’s first attempts at painting during her teenage years, when this very carpet covered the floor of her room. These are repeated and emphasised in the form of felted patches of colour and lines. The traces tell of a search for creative processes capable of sparking disruption and change in everyday life. Visitors are invited to step onto the carpet, arrange the cushion objects as they wish, and sit or lie down.
