Kiefhuck

For the video work, I embody the woman in the red skirt. She appears and disappears within the landscape, leaving behind traces that remain fragmentary and difficult to decipher. The work creates a mysterious atmosphere, exploring the tension between visibility and absence, presence and disappearance.

According to the legend, Rungholt sank as a consequence of its inhabitants’ greed. This story led me to work with materials traditionally associated with value and luxury: silk and porcelain.
I immerse silk fabrics in mudflats and salt water, allowing the landscape to leave its own marks on the material. At the same time, I use ink to create traces of my own. Through this process, the fabrics become carriers of both imagined and physical traces, connecting the lost island, the legend, and my own presence within the landscape.
