Performance/social experiment with 12 stones and 12 potatoes (called “apples of the earth” in German).
Process in 12 steps:
1. Circle of forms – display of forms, circular form of 12 plaster moulds – language forms from A to L
2. Encirclement – chalk drawing, circular horizon
3. Pairs – M to Z – pairs of twins, form and nature – Estimating placement of 6 potatoes and 6 stones in relation to the insides of the forms
4. Aspiration – pollination with water and breath (H2O+CO2), mouth-fountain of the pairs
5. Nidation – defining of the pairs , nest forms, chalk drawing
6. Harmony – pendulum of 2 sounds, one tone, sound-fusion
7. Development (entwining) – Development of strings from the centre as wavy line around the nests
8. Play of forces (Step by step) – By pulling pulsingly the forces that are directed outwards and inwards at the same time, create a lively chaos.
9. Order – lay down the 12 bags in one line
10. Estimating placement of the first pair of twins of forms on the bags
11. Pour water in a pan and place it on the stove
12. Request of arranging the elements in a mutual action as long as some water is left - General impulse of creation with the aim of a collaborative inherent dynamic of creation as original and final image of the action.
