HENRI AND THE STRAW
The focus is on the connection to nature,
dryness, pain, and our origins.
In the act of violence, the intertwined straw hair is torn away.
In the research process, straw served, among other things,
as a mattress.
“IN THE END, WE WILL CONSERVE
ONLY WHAT WE LOVE;
WE WILL LOVE ONLY WHAT
WE UNDERSTAND AND WE WILL UNDERSTAND ONLY WHAT
WE ARE TAUGHT.” BABA DIOUM
“The blades beneath my fingers, i remember another time. water your dried leaves with my tears, brush you while passing. wonder what lives through you.” henri kirsch
