Bodies of ice in the mountains of Deir El Medina

Project by Joachim Eckl

5. - 11. May 2012
West-Thebes/Gurna

The bodies formed of water and frozen to ice were installed on the high-altitude trail between the artists' and workers' settlement Deir El Medina and the Valley of kings at the edge of the desert during the Easter week. This project dealt with the visualisation of temporarily appearing and elapsing human figures. They lit up and vanished in the sun- and moonlight as prohpetic archetypes.
