zusammen(er)leben, from german: living (and experiencing) together. the project intends to re-sensibilize all senses, sharpening our awareness of nature and (re)generating ways of being, in and with nature.

as a group we explored practices that can be done together from what is present: using leftover loges that blocked passage into the forest we layed a new route; with the leftovers we built a paper mill generated by the force of the river. we dag loam and clay from riverside and constructed the heart of the project: the kitchen. with daily foraging walks and a weekly supply of fruits and vegetables from local farmers, we didn’t need much more to survive (german: überleben).

over the four weeks in the forest we host dinners, welcomes spontaneous guests and held workshops for childern in various ages: introducing them to clay, paper making, foraging and activeting all senses.

made in collaboration with albertine mietusch, karolina kaiser, leonie loehr, madeline wagner, and nhu huynh at pulvertobel in streitelsfingen as part of “lindau gartenschau” 2021.
