This performance, in collaboration with dancer and choreographer Gloria Carobini, served as a symbolic unification of contrasts. For 9 days, together with 22 other artist, we transformed the Museum Folkwang into an everchanging performative organism, witnessed by over ten thousand spectators. In our performance „Edera“, we represented contrasting entities, in a fluid process of approach and alienation. During the performance, Konstantin Pütz moved as slowly as physically possible over an installation of ladders which was standing on a space covered in soil, on which lots of plants were placed. Gloria Carobini took care of those plants, watering and dancing with them. We mostly moved in our own spaces, focusing on our own performactive actions, creating rare moments of connection. This performance is about uniting contrasts. About showing that opposites cannot exist without each other. „Edera“, the Italian word for ivy, symbolizes loyalty, reliance, compassion and love, but also exhaustion.
