HANDLUNG und RELIKT Intervention, Performance / Relikt, Galerie Luciano Fasciati, Chur Schweiz, 3.11. - 1.12.2007

The artist lifts a secret, a personal story out of her life. Her Performance combines coffee and Vaseline as legible text on a wall surface, hence, creating a wall painting as self-contained artwork. She writes with Vaseline onto the wall, and through dumping the coffee with a cup onto it for ours and hours, the writings become visible and readable step by step. In her story she relates to the ceremony of cooking coffee in order to show out, that she is ready for marriage. As a young man comes visiting her and her parents with his parents, she has to serve the coffee in a traditional way. She writes down her emotional critics, and her angryness about this ritual. This is a performance installation, where the smell of coffee, the writing installation on the wall on the objects stay as relikt.
