Grub grob / No looser

Lena Goldsteiner | Interaktive stoneinstallation

GRUB GROB invites you to rest in a pit, to play possum, to surrender and to feel exhaustion in a state of deep relaxation in order to regenerate.
NEIN LOOSER offers a supporting structure to stand up from the ground and stand upright like a sculpture itself.
In a posture of healthy tension, the body is in the shape of a first step. The plateaus invite you to play with poses of protest, seduction, openness, queerness and more, and to feel your body in grace and pride.
Structural discrimination, imprisonment and killing of our siblings at the European borders became the center of our collective European existence today. Perhaps the conscious feeling of one’s own need for dignity and respect would strengthen a cosmopolitan awareness and respect for migrants and people with experience of displacement. For people with discriminatory or racist experiences, the stones are an invitation to raise up.
The use of the construction foam normally used to seal windows and doors questions the norms of living and building, as well as the depletion of natural and human resources. The marble stones were former marble columns and a present of a present.
