The Lizard, Lady Lava and Geröll spent a summer together in the caves at the sea. Every morning they were swimming with Cyanobacteria, every evening The Night took them to sleep. In between they were kneading thoughts, warping time, collecting stones, peeling onions, and knotting it all together into a spongy net. Around them flew thoughts like: If you bake a pizza on a stone plate, can the dough feel the birth of the earth vibrating in the hot stone? Do the minerals in our bodies remember their past underground? Are they longing to get out of us? How can I be open to the holes and cracks life is unzipping for me? How’s my form right now, or am I formless? Could art be a continuous act of kneading, a project against projects? At the end of the summer, yesterday’s porridge started raising and bubblingly whispered: “it’s time to embark – you can grow in the dark”.
