The starting point for these two textile works is the nature of post-industrial landscapes and the temporalities preserved in them over many lifetimes - of mined resources and deposited toxins as archives of history. The brown water is due to the rising groundwater level following the closure of the lignite mines in the Lausitz region. Marei Loellmann dyed the fabrics directly in the region's iron-red waters. The hand-stitched textile works explore the entanglements and parallels between nourishing and toxic states that become visible here. A reference to a changing perception of time - a time that is suspended: intensely felt and at the same time radically in limbo.
