UNTER STROM Summer workshop 2019 and art exhibition of Endmoräne e.V. in the former Turbinenhalle am Stienitzsee, Berliner Str. 13A, 15378 Rüdersdorf near Berlin. Summer Workshop 10.6. -21.6.2019 Exhibition 22.6.-7.7.2019 Accompanying program _Performance : Nezaket Ekici, Pars pro toto, Premiere, 30.6.2019 13-18 Uhr

In the performance, the artist works in a costume with apron and 6 kettles as well as a steam iron and an ice block (50x50x50 cm) on a metal base. The ice block lies on a perforated plate, so that the melting water can flow off downwards. Below this is a collecting basin (approx. 6 litres) on which a drain valve (water tap) is mounted. The kettles and the steam iron are connected to the electricity. Spotlights illuminate the scene. The splashing of the melting water in the collecting basin is transmitted loudly via a microphone. The artist starts ironing the ice block and ejects warm steam with the iron. The ice melts slowly and single drops fall through the holes. The artist scrubs the ice with a cloth and sucks up excess water, which she then wrests into the collecting basin. The artist fills the kettles with the collected water and heats them. She pours the heated water onto the ice block to speed up the dew process and fill it again into the kettles via the tap at the bottom. She repeats the processes with the iron, the kettles and the cloth until the ice block has melted. The artist works in a closed energy and water cycle and melts the ice block with her work. The art work deals with climate change, which is influenced by human activity. The cycle that the artist exemplifies „pars pro toto“ stands for all human activities around the globe. In the end it is certain: the ice is thawing faster and faster.
