Winterruhe
(2001)

Balls of fabric of different sizes are spread out on the floor in the attic of the old fire station. The performers lie down in the two large, hollow balls and stay there all day. Slow movements and sparse food intake allow them to have a free face and an arm peeking out of the balls. The slowing down allows the viewer to experience a different sense of time in hibernation. The second that passes to the hour until the movement is complete. Well protected in its shell, absorbed by the environment, presented for show.
