liquor tasting & medicinal herb hike
collaboration with Kathrin Baumgartner_ Offenbach
A two-part series of events focusing on short-term escape as a crisis management strategy of the subject.
First, it focused on the socially omnipresent escape from crisis by influencing consciousness with the help of alcoholic beverages.
„Die Krise“ invited to a tasting of three self-made liquors. They were displayed and tasted in white transport boxes. Fresh spring water was served with them.
A guided „medicinal herb hike“ in the Taunus Mountains thematized the romanticized escape of the individual from society, the return to nature after increasing alienation.
A small group of 9 people was guided through the Reichenbach Valley in Königstein. In the process, the participating individuals were introduced to the surrounding nature,
its uses, and its healing effects. „Die Krise“ is understood as a gesture that generates a performative space.
