A place to Remember / Forget

The ten monotype prints hang suspended in space, pages torn from a dismantled book, their arrangement suggesting a volume that has been pulled apart yet refuses to completely surrender its original form. The skeletal structure of the book persists—stretched, distorted, but still present—while the individual prints respond to their environment with organic movement. As they absorb moisture from the air and release it again, the pages curve and bend, their surfaces rippling with the memory of humidity, creating a subtle choreography of paper that shifts over time.

Each monotype emerged from drawings made from memory during walks through Brandenburg and Berlin, capturing fragments of a landscape marked by haunting absences.

Within these prints appear the remnants of hunting cabins—structures that bear witness to overlapping histories of violence and survival, places that once sheltered hunters and their prey, deserters fleeing war, or fleeing persecution. The prints hold these traces, these vestiges of human presence in the landscape, allowing the cabins to exist as ghosts within the grain of ink and paper.
